• Heat freezes niche evolution. (2013, background): “…challenged unless species have other means to adapt to increased environmental temperatures – a topic now being thoroughly investigated (Deutsch et al. 2008; Huey et al. 2009; Clusella- Trullas et al. 2011; Kellermann et al. 2012b; Sunday et al. 2012; Grigg & Buckley 2013; Hoffmann et al. 2013).”

• Latitudinal shift in thermal niche breadth results from thermal release during a climate‐mediated range expansion (2015, background): “…expansion and adaptive potential Brett’s rule has commonly been interpreted as indicating a lower capacity for evolution in upper than in lower thermal tolerances, a prospect that is of concern under a climate-warming scenario (Kellermann et al., 2012; Ara ujo et al., 2013; Hoffmann et al., 2013).”
• Testing the climate variability hypothesis in thermal tolerance limits of tropical and temperate tadpoles (2016, background): “limits, especially upper tolerance (Hoffmann et al., 2012),”
• A predicted niche shift corresponds with increased thermal resistance in an invasive mite, Halotydeus destructor (2013, background): “…limits across environmental gradients, including elevation and latitude (Gaston & Chown, 1999; Hoffmann et al., 2005), with plastic and inherent variation across latitude more evident for lower than upper thermal limits (Hoffmann et al., 2005, 2012; Terblanche et al., 2006; Alford et al., 2012).”
• Coping with the cold: minimum temperatures and thermal tolerances dominate the ecology of mountain ants (2017, background): “This asymmetric change in both tolerance limits and environmental temperature extremes, especially minimum temperature, mirrors that which is often reported across latitudinal gradients (Addo-Bediako et al., 2000; Hoffmann et al., 2013).”

• Terrestrial insects and climate change: adaptive responses in key traits (2019, background): “Temperature fluctuations may be more important in shaping fitness than average temperature per se (Hoffmann et al., 2013).”
