Journal ArticleDOI
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
TL;DR: The way the Drosophila research has been used to understand the evolution of plastic responses, tradeoffs and limits to selection, and to develop links between laboratory studies and adaptive shifts leading to population and species differences is examined.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied changes in marine communities in southwest Britain and the western English Channel during the past 70 years and found that the distribution of both plankton and intertidal organisms was affected, with latitudinal shifts of up to 120 miles; there were increases or decreases of 2-3 orders of magnitude in abundance.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A synthesis of the thermal melanism hypothesis which states that dark individuals are at an advantage under conditions of low temperature since they heat up faster than light individuals at a given level of solar radiation is provided.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is concluded that entomopathogenic nematode species have well-defined thermal niches which may be unaffected by their locality, and that heterorhabditids are endemic to warmer climates.
