Evolutionary potential of upper thermal tolerance: biogeographic patterns and expectations under climate change

How will organisms respond to climate change? The rapid changes in global climate are expected to impose strong directional selection on fitness‐related traits. A major open question then is the potential for adaptive evolutionary change under these shifting climates. At the most basic level, evolut...
