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 …

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 …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Genetic diversity among and within populations of all species is necessary for people and
nature to survive and thrive in a changing world. Over the past three years, commitments for …

Behavior is one of the major architects of evolution: by behaviorally modifying how they
interact with their environments, organisms can influence natural selection, amplifying it in …

Following decades of intensive study, Anolis lizards have emerged as a biological model
system. We review how new research on anoles has advanced our understanding of …

Sex differences in aging occur in many animal species, and they include sex differences in
lifespan, in the onset and progression of age‐associated decline, and in physiological and …

Anthropogenic climate change is a rapidly intensifying selection pressure on biodiversity
across the globe and, particularly, on the world's coral reefs. The rate of adaptation to …

The effects of climate change are often body size dependent. One contributing factor could
be size-dependent thermal tolerance (SDTT), the propensity for heat and cold tolerance to …

Climate change is putting the fate of ectothermic animals at stake because their body
temperature closely tracks environmental temperatures. The ability to adjust thermal limits …
