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 …

Before the end of this century, tropical rainforests will be subject to climatic conditions that
have not existed anywhere on Earth for millions of years. These forests are the most species …

A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to
environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental …

Although most organisms thermoregulate behaviorally, biologists still cannot easily predict
whether mobile animals will thermoregulate in natural environments. Current models fail …

1. Thermoregulation buffers environmental variation, which enables a species to persist
during climate change but ultimately hinders adaptation of thermal tolerance by weakening …

When predicting the response of organisms to global change, models use measures of
climate at a coarse resolution from general circulation models or from downscaled regional …

Although climates are rapidly changing on a global scale, these changes cannot easily be
extrapolated to the local scales experienced by organisms. In fact, such generalizations …

Thermal trait variation is of fundamental importance to forecasting the impacts of
environmental change on lizard diversity. Here, we review the literature for patterns of …

Ectotherm thermal physiology is frequently used to predict species responses to changing
climates, but for amphibians, water loss may be of equal or greater importance. Using …

Correlative analyses predict that anthropogenic climate warming will cause widespread
extinction but the nature and generality of the underlying mechanisms is unclear. Warming …
