Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of thermal physiology in ectotherms
TL;DR: This review applies classical models of thermal adaptation to predict variation in body temperature within and among populations of mammals and birds and relates these predictions to observations generated by comparative and experimental studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tradeoffs and the evolution of thermal reaction norms
TL;DR: It is argued that a unified theory that includes all classes of tradeoffs would provide a better understanding of the mechanisms that drive the evolution of reaction norms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coadaptation: A Unifying Principle in Evolutionary Thermal Biology*
Michael J. Angilletta,Albert F. Bennett,Helga Guderley,Carlos A. Navas,Frank Seebacher,Robbie S. Wilson +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that major advances will require a quantitative theory of coadaptation that predicts which strategies should evolve in specific thermal environments and must also consider the biotic interactions that influence the net benefits of behavioral and physiological strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban Physiology: City Ants Possess High Heat Tolerance
Michael J. Angilletta,Robbie S. Wilson,Amanda C. Niehaus,Michael W. Sears,Carlos A. Navas,Pedro Ribeiro +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that thermal tolerances of some organisms can respond to rapid changes in climate, and Predictive models should account for acclimatory and evolutionary responses during climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herpetological diversity along Andean elevational gradients: links with physiological ecology and evolutionary physiology ☆
TL;DR: Patterns of biodiversity along environmental clines can be better understood through a physiological approach, and can help to refine and propose hypotheses in evolutionary physiology.
