Since the transition from water to land, maintaining water balance has been a key challenge
for terrestrial arthropods. We explore factors that allow terrestrial arthropods to survive within …

Desert animals must manage the physiological stress caused by heat and desiccation;
evaporative heat loss mitigates overheating but exacerbates water stress. Small …

The regulation of body temperature (thermoregulation) and of water balance (defined here
as hydroregulation) are key processes underlying ecological and evolutionary responses to …

Predicting how species will respond to climate change and land use modification is
essential for conserving organisms and maintaining ecosystem services. Thermal tolerances …

Pesticides have well-documented negative consequences to control crop pests, and natural
predators are alternatives and can provide an ecosystem service as biological control …

Warming temperatures are increasing rainfall extremes, yet arthropod responses to climatic
fluctuations remain poorly understood. Here, we used spatiotemporal variation in tropical …

Diseases that are transmitted by mosquitoes are a tremendous health and socioeconomic
burden with hundreds of millions of people being impacted by mosquito-borne illnesses …

The effects of animal homeostatic function on ecological interactions have not been well-
integrated into community ecology. Animals mediate environmental change and stressors …

Insects have become an efficient and eco-friendly bioreactor for plastics and even
micro/nano-plastics biodegradation. However, the optimal conditions for rearing insects to …

Dehydration can have negative effects on animal physiological performance, growth,
reproduction, and survival, and most animals seek to minimize these effects by reducing …
