This review is focused on the questions of why fish exhibit heat failure at thermal extremes
and which physiological mechanisms determine the acute upper thermal tolerance. We …

Mosquito‐borne diseases cause a major burden of disease worldwide. The vital rates of
these ectothermic vectors and parasites respond strongly and nonlinearly to temperature …

The concurrent pressures of rising global temperatures, rates and incidence of species
decline, and emergence of infectious diseases represent an unprecedented planetary crisis …

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 …

Extreme temperature events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate
change. Such events threaten insects, including pollinators, pests and disease vectors …

Multiple stressors, such as warming and invasions, often occur together and have
nonadditive effects. Most studies to date assume that stressors operate in perfect synchrony …

Linking variation in species' traits to large-scale environmental gradients can lend insight
into the evolutionary processes that have shaped functional diversity and future responses …

INTRODUCTION Infectious disease outbreaks among wildlife have surged in recent
decades alongside global climate change. However, the circumstances under which climate …

Many species face extinction risks owing to climate change, and there is an urgent need to
identify which species' populations will be most vulnerable. Plasticity in heat tolerance …

Aim To test if physiological acclimation can buffer species against increasing extreme heat
due to climate change. Location Global. Time period 1960 to 2015. Major taxa studied …
