Evolutionary adaptation can be rapid and potentially help species counter stressful
conditions or realize ecological opportunities arising from climate change. The challenges�…

Predicting the impacts of climate change on species is one of the biggest challenges that
ecologists face. Predictions routinely focus on the direct effects of climate change on�…

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments1, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems�…

impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems�…

A number of studies indicate that tropical arthropods should be particularly vulnerable to
climate warming. If these predictions are realized, climate warming may have a more�…

Understanding which species and ecosystems will be most severely affected by warming as
climate change advances is important for guiding conservation and management. Both�…

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

It is predicted that climate change will cause species extinctions and distributional shifts in
coming decades, but data to validate these predictions are relatively scarce. Here, we�…

Current climate change may be a major threat to global biodiversity, but the extent of species
loss will depend on the details of how species respond to changing climates. For example, if�…

Global warming is increasing the overheating risk for many organisms, though the potential
for plasticity in thermal tolerance to mitigate this risk is largely unknown. In part, this�…
