Using thermal limits to understand community response to climate warming
When will communities reach their upper thermal limits (i.e., their climate countdown)? A key challenge for ecology and conservation only to be addressed by understanding the biological processes driving community thermal limits and assessing how fast warming actually pushes communities to these limits and thus increases their vulnerability. The difference between upper thermal limit and habitat temperature is widely used to predict thermal vulnerability. Yet, existing models are mostly limited to single species and neglect key processes such as species interactions. To predict the thermal vulnerability of multi-trophic communities, we need to scale up thermal limits from species to…
