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 …

We derived physiological models that accurately predicted extinctions of Mexican and other
lizards. Clusella-Trullas and Chown argue that global forecasts are unreliable without …

Determining the susceptibility of species to changing thermal niches is a major goal for
biologists. In this paper we develop an eco‐physiological model of extinction risk under climate …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the thermal biology of the Mexican lizards
Sceloporus aeneus and Sceloporus bicanthalis (Phrynosomatidae). Sceloporus aeneus is …

Thermoregulatory studies of ectothermic organisms are an important tool for ecological
physiology, evolutionary ecology and behavior, and recently have become central for evaluating …

Background Vertebrates exhibit diverse sex determination systems and reptiles stand out by
having highly variable sex determinations that include temperature-dependent and …

The water skinks Eulamprus tympanum and Eulamprus heatwolei show thermally induced
sex determination where elevated temperatures give rise to male offspring. Paradoxically, …

Nuclear and mitochondrial genomes coexist within cells but are subject to different tempos
and modes of evolution. Evolutionary forces such as drift, mutation, selection, and migration …
