Integration of photoperiodic and temperature cues by the circadian clock to regulate insect seasonal adaptations
Organisms adapt to unfavorable seasonal conditions to survive. These seasonal
adaptations rely on the correct interpretation of environmental cues such as photoperiod …

Temperature and biodiversity influence community stability differently in birds and fishes
Determining the factors that affect community stability is crucial to understanding the
maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the face of global warming. We …

Humidity modifies species‐specific and age‐dependent heat stress effects in an insect host‐parasitoid interaction
Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events,
and may increase humidity levels, leading to coupled thermal and hydric stress. However …
