Surviving changing climate conditions is particularly difficult for organisms such as insects
that depend on environmental temperature to regulate their physiological functions. Insects …

Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be a major cause of species extinctions in the
next 100 years. But what will actually cause these extinctions? For example, will it be limited …

Biotic and abiotic factors are increasingly acknowledged to synergistically shape broad-
scale species distributions. However, the relative importance of biotic and abiotic factors in …

A tenet of macroecology is that physiological processes of organisms are linked to large-
scale geographical patterns in environmental conditions. Species at higher latitudes …

Many species' range limits (RL) occur across continuous environmental gradients without
obvious barriers imposing them. Such RL are expected to reflect niche limits (NL) and thus …

New analyses are presented addressing the global impacts of recent climate change on
phenology of plant and animal species. A meta‐analysis spanning 203 species was …

Projected effects of climate change on animal distributions primarily focus on consequences
of temperature and largely ignore impacts of altered precipitation. While much evidence …

Temperature strongly regulates the distribution and fitness of ectotherms, and many studies
have measured the temperature dependence of physiological performance in controlled …

In the face of environmental change, species can evolve new physiological tolerances to
cope with altered climatic conditions or move spatially to maintain existing physiological …

The evolutionary dynamics underlying the latitudinal gradient in biodiversity have been
controversial for over a century. Using a spatially explicit approach that incorporates not only …
