Rising water temperatures in rivers due to climate change are already having observable
impacts on river ecosystems. Warming water has both direct and indirect impacts on aquatic …

Upper thermal limits (CTmax) are frequently used to parameterize the fundamental niche of
ectothermic animals and to infer biogeographical distribution limits under current and future …

Temperature affects the rate of all biochemical processes in ectotherms, and is therefore
critical for determining their current and future distribution under global climate change …

Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

Urban parks can cool the urban environment and mitigate the urban heat island effect.
Quantifying the park cooling effect and its relationships with park characteristics is important …

As climate change transforms the biosphere, more comprehensive and biologically relevant
measurements of changing conditions are needed. Traditional climate measurements are …

Climate change could pose an urgent threat to pollinators, with critical ecological and
economic consequences. However, for most insect pollinator species, we lack the long-term …

Nocturnal temperatures are increasing at a pace exceeding diurnal temperatures in most
parts of the world. The role of warmer nocturnal temperatures in animal ecology has …

Ecological and evolutionary theories have proposed that species traits should be important
in mediating species responses to contemporary climate change; yet, empirical evidence …

A major challenge in modern biology is to understand extinction risk from climate change
across all realms. Recent research has revealed that physiological tolerance, behavioral …
