1. Introduction: What paths to mean reproductive success of individuals and shifting mean fitness of mammalian populations? -- 2. Mammals: From humble vertebrate beginnings to global terrestrial dominance -- 3. Variability of mammalian thermal niches: Differential effects of local and global environmental heterogeneity -- 4. Robustness and polyphenisms in mammals: ?Core processes?, repatterning, ?constrained variation?, and ?regulatory logic? -- 5. Learning may generate phenotypic variability in heterogeneous regimes -- 6. Discussion: Stimulus ? Response ? Stimulus -- 7. Synopsis -- References.
