人们非常重视预测目前气候变化对生物多样性可能产生的影响。关于如何模拟物种分布范围的变化，以及如何纳入其他生物机制以提高其效用，已经形成了大量而且往往有争议的文献。尽管如此，有两个领域相对被低估：在预测物种对气候变化的反应时，了解物种的生理能力的重要性，以及跨代遗传变化和塑料反应变化的能力可能对物种的反应产生的影响，或者缺乏这种能力。虽然可能不像相关的方法来理解物种对变化的反应，机械的方法正在迅速发展。在这篇综述中，我们探讨了几个关键的信息出现的机制的方法，体现在进化生理学，理解和预测物种对气候变化的反应。
Much attention has been given to forecasting the likely effects of ongoing climate change on biodiversity. A large and often contentious literature has developed about how changes in species' ranges should be modelled and how additional biological mechanisms might be incorporated to improve their utility. Nonetheless, 2 areas stand out as relatively underappreciated: the importance of understanding a species' physiological capacities when forecasting its response to climate change, and the likely influence that capacities for genetic change across generations and changes in plastic responses, or the lack thereof, will have on a species' response. Although perhaps not as well developed as correlative approaches to understanding species responses to change, mechanistic approaches are advancing rapidly. In this review, we explore several of the key messages emerging from the mechanistic approach, embodied in evolutionary physiology, to understanding and forecasting species responses to climate change.
