Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

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 …

Forecasting which species/ecosystems are most vulnerable to climate warming is essential
to guide conservation strategies to minimize extinction. Tropical/mid-latitude species are …

Rising global temperatures are threatening biodiversity. Studies on the impact of
temperature on natural populations usually use lethal or viability thresholds, termed the …

Climate change is affecting biodiversity, but proximate drivers remain poorly understood.
Here, we examine how experimental heatwaves impact on reproduction in an insect system …

With climate change creating a more volatile atmosphere, heatwaves that create thermal
stress for living systems will become stronger and more frequent. Using the flour beetle …

Understanding and predicting how adaptation will contribute to species' resilience to climate
change will be paramount to successfully managing biodiversity for conservation …

Abstract Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura)(Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a pest of small fruits and
cherries, and has also been noted to infest a variety of wild, ornamental, and uncultivated …

Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, a native of eastern and
southeastern Asia, is a pest of small and stone fruits. First detected in California in 2008, the …

All species need to reproduce to maintain viable populations, but heat stress kills sperm
cells across the animal kingdom and rising frequencies of heat waves are a threat to …
