The roles of microclimatic diversity and of behavior in mediating the responses of ectotherms to climate change

HA Woods, ME Dillon, S Pincebourde - Journal of Thermal Biology, 2015 - Elsevier
We analyze the effects of changing patterns of thermal availability, in space and time, on the
performance of small ectotherms. We approach this problem by breaking it into a series of …
