Abstract Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are one of the most dominant terrestrial organisms
worldwide. They are hugely abundant, both in terms of sheer numbers and biomass, on …

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

A number of studies indicate that tropical arthropods should be particularly vulnerable to
climate warming. If these predictions are realized, climate warming may have a more …

A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to
environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental …

Climate change will increase both average temperatures and extreme summer
temperatures. Analyses of the fitness consequences of climate change have generally …

Upper thermal limits vary less than lower limits among related species of terrestrial
ectotherms. This pattern may reflect weak or uniform selection on upper limits, or …

How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings
remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single …

Physiological thermal-tolerance limits of terrestrial ectotherms often exceed local air
temperatures, implying a high degree of thermal safety (an excess of warm or cold thermal …

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

Abstract The Thermal Adaptation Hypothesis posits that the warmer, aseasonal tropics
generates populations with higher and narrower thermal limits. It has largely been tested …
