Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

All climate change scenarios predict an increase in both global temperature means and the
magnitude of seasonal and diel temperature variation. The nonlinear relationship between …

Winter is a key driver of individual performance, community composition, and ecological
interactions in terrestrial habitats. Although climate change research tends to focus on …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Multiple stressors, both abiotic and biotic, often are experienced simultaneously by
organisms in nature. Responses to these stressors may share signaling pathways (“cross …

1. In the context of global change, modifications in winter conditions may disrupt the
seasonal phenology patterns of organisms, modify the synchrony of closely interacting …

Biologists often cope with variation in physiological, environmental and ecological
processes by measuring how living systems perform under average conditions. However …

Overwintering insects cannot feed, and energy they take into winter must therefore fuel
energy demands during autumn, overwintering, warm periods prior to resumption of …

Understanding the biological impacts of extreme temperatures requires translating
meteorological estimates into organismal responses, but that translation is complex. In …
