The drivers of variability in species range sizes remain an outstanding enigma in ecology.
The theoretical expectation of a positive dispersal‐range size relationship has received …

Acclimation and other forms of plasticity that can increase stress resistance feature strongly
in discussions surrounding climate change impacts or vulnerability projections of insects …

Flight of nocturnal insects may be limited by cool nighttime environmental temperatures. We
used laboratory and field experiments to explore the thermal basis of nocturnal flight in wing …

High-elevation species are predicted to have larger elevational ranges compared with
species of lower elevations. The reasoning is that temperature variability is greater at higher …

Climate change is altering the abundance and geographic distributions of insects, with
potential consequences for human health, sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem function …

Simple Summary Cold-blooded organisms can become physiologically challenged when
performing highly oxygen-demanding activities (eg, flight) across different thermal and …

Flight-reproduction trade-offs, such that more mobile individuals sacrifice reproductive
output (eg, fecundity) or incur fitness costs, are well-studied in a handful of wing-dimorphic …

Cold acclimation may enhance low temperature flight ability, and salt loading can alter an
insects' cold tolerance by affecting their ability to maintain ion balance in the cold. Presently …

abstract Flight-reproduction trade-offs, such that more mobile individuals sacrifice

Species are geographically restricted. Although in the past years the study of range limits
has seen renewed interest, less attention has been devoted to range size. Theoretical work …
