DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-36157-x
Abstract: Terrestrial ecosystems are considered as carbon sinks that may mitigate the impacts of increased atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]). However, it is not clear what their carbon sink capacity will be under extreme climatic conditions. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2016.0372
Abstract: Global climate warming results in an increase in mean temperatures and in the frequency of extreme climatic events (ECEs), which could both strongly impact ecosystems and populations. Most studies assessing the impact of global warming… read more here.

Can extreme climatic events induce shifts in adaptive potential? A conceptual framework and empirical test with Anolis lizards
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Evolutionary Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14115
Abstract: Multivariate adaptation to climatic shifts may be limited by trait integration that causes genetic variation to be low in the direction of selection. However, strong episodes of selection induced by extreme climatic pressures may facilitate… read more here.
