A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future
environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such predictions and …

Populations of many species are genetically adapted to local historical climate conditions.
Yet most forecasts of species' distributions under climate change have ignored local …

Physiological studies can help predict effects of climate change through determining which
species currently live closest to their upper thermal tolerance limits, which physiological …

Microclimatic variables are necessary for a wide range of pure and applied problems in
environmental science. In ecology, microclimatic conditions are prerequisites for modelling …

Species distribution models (SDMs) use spatial environmental data to make inferences on
species' range limits and habitat suitability. Conceptually, these models aim to determine …

Highlights•We provide a simple method to determine the microscale pertinent to small
insects.•Fine-scale microclimates can differ from local microclimates that are widely …

Increasing concern about the impacts of global warming on biodiversity has stimulated
extensive discussion, but methods to translate broad-scale shifts in climate into direct …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 677–689 Abstract Although some organisms have moved to
higher elevations and latitudes in response to recent climate change, there is little …

The present paper reviews the effects of water temperature and flow on migrations,
embryonic development, hatching, emergence, growth and life‐history traits in light of the …

Survival in a warmer climate. Data from diverse terrestrial ectotherms suggest that tropical
species living in stable aseasonal climates, such as the Amazonian lizard Enyalioides …
