Correlations between physiological variation and climate suggest that organismal physiology has been shaped primarily through natural selection by the abiotic environment. However, the resource requirements and physiological tolerances of organisms change when they interact with competitors, predators, parasites and symbionts, suggesting that abiotic and biotic agents of selection interact to influence physiological adaptation. Nevertheless, abiotic and biotic causes of evolutionary change are often disconnected in theories of physiological adaptation and rarely examined together in empirical studies.

生理变化和气候之间的相关性表明，生物体的生理主要是通过非生物环境的自然选择形成的。 然而，生物体的资源需求和生理耐受性的变化，当它们与竞争对手，捕食者，寄生虫和共生体，这表明非生物和生物选择剂相互作用，影响生理适应。 然而，进化变化的非生物和生物原因在生理适应理论中往往是脱节的，在实证研究中也很少一起研究。
