Increases in the frequency, severity and duration of temperature extremes are anticipated in
the near future. Although recent work suggests that changes in temperature variation will …

Ectotherms are considered to be particularly vulnerable to climate warming. Descriptions of
habitat temperatures and predicted changes in climate usually consider mean monthly …

Resource availability and habitat heterogeneity are principle drivers of biodiversity, but their
individual roles often remain unclear since both factors are usually correlated. The …

Temperature is an important determinant of malaria transmission. Recent work has shown
that mosquito and parasite biology are influenced not only by average temperature, but also …

Microclimate is a crucial driver of saproxylic beetle assemblages, with more species often
found in sunny forests than in shady ones. Whether this pattern is caused by a higher …

抄録 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimated that the global
mean surface air temperature will increase about 2 C above the 1990 level by 2100. Such …

Forensic entomology involves the use of insects and other arthropods to estimate the
minimum time elapsed since death, referred to as minimum postmortem interval (minPMI) …

External conditions can drive biological rates in ectotherms by directly influencing body
temperatures. While estimating the temperature dependence of performance traits such as …

Laboratory studies were conducted to assess the effect of temperature on the survival,
development, fecundity, and longevity of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) at 11 constant …

This study assessed potential changes in the distributions of Australian butterfly species in
response to global warming. The bioclimatic program, BIOCLIM, was used to determine the …
