Climate change and urbanization are two of the most prominent global drivers of biodiversity
and ecosystem change. Fully understanding, predicting and mitigating the biological …

The geographic distributions of marine species are changing rapidly, with leading range
edges following climate poleward, deeper, and in other directions and trailing range edges …

Climate change has the potential to change the distribution of pests globally and their
resistance to pesticides, thereby threatening global food security in the 21st century …

Local adaptations can determine the potential of populations to respond to environmental
changes, yet adaptive genetic variation is commonly ignored in models forecasting species …

BACKGROUND Climate change impacts have now been documented across every
ecosystem on Earth, despite an average warming of only~ 1° C so far. Here, we describe the …

Rising global temperatures are threatening biodiversity. Studies on the impact of
temperature on natural populations usually use lethal or viability thresholds, termed the …

Despite its well-established negative impacts on society and biodiversity, eutrophication
continues to be one of the most pervasive anthropogenic influences along the freshwater to …

Climate change is increasing global temperatures and intensifying the frequency and
severity of extreme heat waves. How organisms will cope with these changes depends on …

Predicting if, when, and how populations can adapt to climate change constitutes one of the
greatest challenges in science today. Here, we build from contributions to the special issue …

Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope
of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore …
