Highlights•High basal and plastic tolerance to stress promote pest invasion.•Polyphagy and
diverse reproductive strategies aid invasiveness.•Rapid evolution to stress resistance is a …

The Earth's climate is changing at a rapid pace. To survive in increasingly fluctuating and
unpredictable environments, species can either migrate or evolve through rapid local …

The ability to maintain a (relatively) stable body temperature in a wide range of thermal
environments by use of endogenous heat production is a unique feature of endotherms such …

Ectotherms can respond to global warming via evolutionary change of their upper thermal
limits (CTmax). Thus, the estimation of CTmax and its evolutionary potential is crucial to …

Organisms living in seasonal environments often adjust physiological capacities and
sensitivities in response to (or in anticipation of) environment shifts. Such physiological and …

Thermal performance curves have provided a common framework to study the impact of
temperature in biological systems. However, few generalities have emerged to date. Here …

Many organisms exhibit phenotypic plasticity; producing alternate phenotypes depending on
the environment. Individuals can be plastic (intragenerational or direct plasticity), wherein …

Highlights•Insects must cope with fine-scale temporal and spatial abiotic
variation.•Phenotypes integrate genetics, environment, time, and individual …

Extreme temperature exposure can reduce stored sperm viability within queen honey bees;
however, little is known about how thermal stress may directly impact queen performance or …

Climate change presents a major threat to species distribution and persistence.
Understanding what abiotic or biotic factors influence the thermal tolerances of natural …
