Journal Article
Fusi, M., Giomi, F., Babbini, S., Daffonchio, D., McQuaid, C., Porri, F., & Cannicci, S. (2015). Thermal specialization across large geographical scales predicts the resilience of mangrove crab populations to global warming. Oikos, 124(6), https://doi.org

The broad prediction that ectotherms will be more vulnerable to climate change in the tropics than in temperate regions includes assumptions about centre/edge population effects that can only be tested by within species comparisons across wide latitu...

Improved heat tolerance in air drives the recurrent evolution of air-breathing (2014)
Journal Article
Giomi, F., Fusi, M., Barausse, A., Mostert, B., Portner, H., & Cannicci, S. (2014). Improved heat tolerance in air drives the recurrent evolution of air-breathing. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 281(1782), 20132927-20132927. http

The transition to air-breathing by formerly aquatic species has occurred repeat-edly and independently in fish, crabs and other animal phyla, but the proximatedrivers of this key innovation remain a long-standing puzzle in evolutio-nary biology. Most... Read More about Improved heat tolerance in air drives the recurrent evolution of air-breathing.
