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 …

Plastic responses figure prominently in discussions on insect adaptation to climate change.
Here we review the different types of plastic responses and whether they contribute much to …

Energy metabolism (encompassing energy assimilation, conversion and utilization) plays a
central role in all life processes and serves as a link between the organismal physiology …

Heat‐shock proteins (Hsps) and their cognates are primary mitigators of cell stress. With
increasingly severe impacts of climate change and other human modifications of the …

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

The acute thermal tolerance of ectotherms has been measured in a variety of ways; these
include assays where organisms are shifted abruptly to stressful temperatures and assays …

In the context of global environmental change much of the focus has been on changing
temperatures. However, patterns of rainfall and water availability have also been changing …

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity provides a mechanism of developmental rescue in novel and
rapidly changing environments. Understanding the underlying mechanism of plasticity is …

Thermal tolerance may limit and therefore predict ectotherm geographic distributions.
However, which of the many metrics of thermal tolerance best predict distribution is often …
