Temperature is a prominent abiotic environmental variable that drives the adaptive
trajectories of animal lineages and structures the composition of animal communities. Global …

Insects share an intimate relationship with their gut microflora and this symbiotic association
has developed into an essential evolutionary outcome intended for their survival through …

Global climate change has led to more extreme thermal events. Plants and animals harbour
diverse microbial communities, which may be vital for their physiological performance and …

Identifying factors that influence how ectothermic animals respond physiologically to
changing temperatures is of high importance given current threats of global climate change …

Mosquito-borne diseases having the greatest impact on human health are typically
prevalent in the tropical belt of the world. However, these diseases are conquering …

Population genomic data has revealed patterns of genetic variation associated with
adaptation in many taxa. Yet understanding the adaptive process that drives such patterns is …

Virtually all organisms are colonized by microbes. Average temperatures are rising because
of global climate change–accompanied by increases in extreme climatic events and heat …

Vertebrates harbor trillions of microorganisms in the gut, collectively termed the gut
microbiota, which affect a wide range of host functions. Recent experiments in lab-reared …

Seasonal changes in the environment, such as varying temperature, have the potential to
change the functional relationship between ectothermic animals, such as insects, and their …

Microbiome-mediated insecticide resistance is an emerging phenomenon found in insect
pests. However, microbiome composition can vary by host genotype and environmental …
