Abstract excerpt
Climate change is causing rapid temperature increases that drive adaptive changes. Predicting these outcomes remains challenging as the extremes of warming have not yet been experienced by natural populations. Contemporary populations inhabiting geothermally-warmed environments can provide valuable insights, including phenotypic and genomic responses involved in adaptation to warming. Here, we examine independent...
