This study examines the evolutionary patterns of dormancy across 1,338 endotherms and finds it is part of a continuum with weak associations to physiological and environmental traits.

The paper compares 83 thermal performance curve models across traits and taxa to identify which models perform best under different conditions.

This study shows that arthropod adaptation to warming is constrained by trait performance temperature shifts and trade-offs, using a global dataset of 61 species.

The paper shows microbial communities can rapidly adapt to temperature changes by resuscitating pre-adapted strains, leading to distinct communities at different temperatures.

This study shows that higher temperatures amplify the destabilizing effects of mutations on protein stability in prokaryotes, leading to decreased mutation rates with increasing temperature.

The paper investigates how adaptive evolution shapes the thermal sensitivity of population growth rate across microbial and plant species, finding that thermal sensitivity evolves rapidly and shows convergence across clades.

This study analyzes phytoplankton thermal performance curves to assess the role of thermodynamic constraints in their evolution, finding weak constraints and significant phylogenetic adaptation.
