Cold tolerance is important in defining the distribution of insects. Here, we review the
principal physiological mechanisms underlying homeostatic failure during cold exposure in …

Temperature stress is one of the crucial factors determining geographical distribution of
insect species. Most of them are active in moderate temperatures, however some are …

Cold tolerance is a key determinant of insect distribution and abundance, and thermal
acclimation can strongly influence organismal stress tolerance phenotypes, particularly in …

Patterns in functional diversity of organisms at large spatial scales can provide insight into
possible responses to future climate change, but it remains a challenge to link large‐scale …

Background Heat tolerance is a key parameter that affects insect distribution and
abundance. Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a devastating pest of …

A common practice in thermal biology is to take individuals directly from the field and
estimate a range of thermal traits. These estimates are then used in studies aiming to …

How cold-blooded animals acclimate to temperature and what determines the limits of their
viable temperature range are not understood. Here, we show that Drosophila alter their …

The way in which Drosophila melanogaster acquires iron from the diet remains poorly
understood despite iron absorption being of vital significance for larval growth. To describe …

Temperature is a critical factor of insect population abundance and distribution.
Monochamus alternatus Hope (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a significant concern since it …

Background Cold tolerance is a key determinant of temperate insect distribution and
performance. Chill-susceptible insects lose ion and water homeostasis during cold …
