Microclimatic variability in tropical forests plays a key role in sha** species distributions
and their ability to cope with environmental change, especially for ectotherms. Nonetheless …

Adaptive thermal plasticity plays a key role in mitigating the effects of seasonal and diurnal
thermal fluctuations among ectotherms at various life-stages. While the role of thermal …

Tropical butterflies use thermal buffering and thermal tolerance as alternative strategies to cope
with temperature increase - PMC Back to Top Skip to main content NIH NLM Logo Access keys …

Complex life cycles characterized by uncertainty at transitions between larval/juvenile and
adult environments could favour irreversible physiological plasticity at such transitions. To …

Temperature variation in the environment is a great challenge to organisms. Induction of
heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a common genetic mechanism to cope with thermal stress …

Abstract Knowledge of the effects of thermal conditions on animal movement and dispersal
is necessary for a mechanistic understanding of the consequences of climate change and …

Butterflies serve as key indicators of climate change impacts such as shifts in emergence
timing and shifts in geographic range and distribution. However, the development of …

The Glanville fritillary butterfly inhabits fragmented landscapes in the Åland Islands, Finland,
where the long-term persistence of this classic metapopulation depends on frequent re …

Thermal tolerance has a major effect on individual fitness and species distributions and can
be determined by genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity. We investigate the effects of …

Flight is essential for foraging, mate searching and dispersal in many insects, but flight
metabolism in ectotherms is strongly constrained by temperature. Thermal conditions vary …
