Research on the thermal ecology and physiology of free‐living organisms is accelerating as
scientists and managers recognize the urgency of the global biodiversity crisis brought on by …

Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

Although most organisms thermoregulate behaviorally, biologists still cannot easily predict
whether mobile animals will thermoregulate in natural environments. Current models fail …

Temperature profoundly influences physiological responses in animals, primarily due to the
effects on biochemical reaction rates. Since physiological responses are often exemplified …

In recent years, ecologists have stepped up to address the challenges imposed by rapidly
changing climates. Some researchers have developed niche-based methods to predict how …

The emerging field of Conservation Physiology links environmental change and ecological
success by the application of physiological theory, approaches and tools to elucidate and …

The thermal dependence of biochemical reaction rates means that many animals regulate
their body temperature so that fluctuations in body temperature are small compared to …

Operative temperature (Te) and standard operative temperature (Tes) models have been
used to address ecological questions about the thermal biology of ectotherms and …

Species may exhibit similar thermal tolerances via either common ancestry or environmental
filtering and local adaptation, if the species inhabit similar environments. We ask whether …

Modelling thermal environments at high resolution becomes simpler when using operative
temperature, which condenses microclimate and morphology into an index of thermal stress …
