Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates�…

Forest microclimates contrast strongly with the climate outside forests. To fully understand
and better predict how forests' biodiversity and functions relate to climate and climate�…

Ecology Letters (2012) 15: 365–377 Abstract Many studies in recent years have investigated
the effects of climate change on the future of biodiversity. In this review, we first examine the�…

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�…

In this first worldwide synthesis of in situ and satellite‐derived lake data, we find that lake
summer surface water temperatures rose rapidly (global mean= 0.34� C decade− 1)�…

Climate change poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, but freshwater fishes have
been largely ignored in climate change assessments. Here, we assess threats of future flow�…

BACKGROUND Comparing patterns of terrestrial and marine defaunation helps to place
human impacts on marine fauna in context and to navigate toward recovery. Defaunation�…

Global changes, from habitat loss and invasive species to anthropogenic climate change,
have initiated the sixth great mass extinction event in Earth's history. As species become�…

Understanding how species' thermal limits have evolved across the tree of life is central to
predicting species' responses to climate change. Here, using experimentally-derived�…

PERSPECTIVES is pressed into a polymer film. The films are monodispersed polystyrenes
with average molecular masses of 9000 kD, 900 kD, and 44 kD, with corresponding Rg�…
