Complex responses of global insect pests to climate warming (2020, background): “Mounting evidence suggests that pests and their host plants are responding to climate change not only ecologically (eg by range expansion or voltinism shifts) but also through rapid evolution and local adaptation (Chown et al. 2010; Hoffmann 2017; Diamond 2018).”
The importance of parentage in assessing temperature effects on fish early life history: a review of the experimental literature (2011, background): “Climate change is altering thermal habitats for many freshwater and marine species at a rapid rate (Graham and Harrod 2009), and a greater understanding of the intergenerational and evolutionary consequences in temperature-impacted populations is needed (Crozier et al. 2008; Chown et al. 2010).”
Exploring consensus in 21st century projections of climatically suitable areas for African vertebrates (2011, background): “Attribution of shifts in species distributions to climate change is difﬁcult in Africa (Chown et al. , 2010; Midgley & Thuiller, 2011) because changes in water availability — the main determinant of ecological responses (Hawkins et al. , 2003) — are spatially complex and dif-ﬁcult to document…”
Contrasting effects of environmental factors during larval stage on morphological plasticity in post-metamorphic frogs (2010, background): “…especially on low dispersal organisms such as amphibians, it is necessary to assess the magnitude and direction of plasticity in fitness-related traits in response to different environmental factors, and the potential of populations to evolve (Parmesan 2006, Chown et al. 2010, this Special).”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity and resilience of vertebrates to increasing climatic unpredictability. (2010, background): “Actually, extreme climatic events are expected to become one of the major causes of species extinction during this century (Stenseth et al. 2002, Walther et al. 2002, Thomas et al. 2004, Foden et al. 2008, Chown et al. 2010).”
Cryptic biodiversity loss linked to global climate change (2011, background): “For most species, including our study species, we have a limited understanding of physiological responses to varying environmental condition”
Predicting organismal vulnerability to climate warming: roles of behaviour, physiology and adaptation (2012, background): “Physiological information is fundamental here [4–6,24,39,124,203,204]: one needs to know whether a species is a thermal specialist or a thermal generalist, is warm versus cold-adapted, has marked acclimation capacities [67] or is sensitive to other physiological variables [37,52].”
Thermal variability alters climatic stress resistance and plastic responses in a globally invasive pest, the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) (2010, background): “…Marais & Chown, 2008), and could even produce plastic changes in the opposite direction to those which might be considered beneficial, as predicted by plasticity theory (see discussions in Deere & Chown, 2006; Chown & Terblanche, 2007; Angilletta, 2009; Chevin et al., 2010; Chown et al., 2010).”
Modelling climate change impacts on marine fish populations: process-based integration of ocean warming, acidification and other environmental drivers (2016, background): “Physiological processes 105 link the physical environment to individual-level responses and thus help to gain principal 106 mechanism-based understanding of climate change impacts on populations and 107 ecosystems (Pörtner and Farrell, 2008, Denny and Helmuth, 2009, Chown et al., 2010).”
