Evolutionary changes in traits that affect both ecological divergence and mating signals
could lead to reproductive isolation and the formation of new species. Insect cuticular …

Today's scientists are facing the enormous challenge of predicting how climate change will
affect species distributions and species assemblages. To do so, ecologists are widely using …

Recent theory and empirical evidence have provided new insights regarding how
evolutionary forces interact to shape adaptation at stable and transient range margins …

Species that are habitat specialists make up much of biodiversity, but the evolutionary
factors that limit their distributions have rarely been considered. We show that in Drosophila …

Physiological limits determine susceptibility to environmental changes, and can be
assessed at the individual, population or species/lineage levels. Here I discuss these levels …

Evolutionary changes in traits involved in both ecological divergence and mate choice may
produce reproductive isolation and speciation. However, there are few examples of such …

Understanding the forms that the geographic range limits of species take, their causes and
their consequences are key issues in ecology and evolutionary biology. They are also topics …

Understanding processes that limit species' ranges has been a core issue in ecology and
evolutionary biology for many decades, and has become increasingly important given the …

ABSTRACT A (quite) large set of experiments has been undertaken to assess the potential
for evolutionary changes in invertebrates under current and future climate change …

Given that evolution can generate rapid and dramatic shifts in the ecological tolerance of a
species, what prevents populations adapting to expand into new habitat at the edge of their …
