Multiple traits of stress resistance were investigated in the epedaphic springtail Orchesella
cincta. Second generation adults from five laboratory populations were compared with …

Ambient temperature is a key environmental factor influencing a variety of aspects of the
ecology and evolution of ectotherms. Reproductive traits have been suggested to be more …

The relationship between abiotic stress and fitness in an individual is usually described by
the intensity and duration of stress. Yet in natural systems, variability in abiotic stress is …

Numerous studies reported the adaptation strategies adopted by ecthotherms to survive
under environmental thermal stress. Geographic and seasonal variations in the thermal …

Survival at high latitude requires the capability to cope with seasonally imposed stress, such
as low winter temperatures or large temperature fluctuations. The Colorado potato beetle …

Chill tolerance plays a crucial role that allows insect species to adapt to cold environments.
Two Chinese geographical populations (Laibin and Yangzhou populations) were selected …

Simple Summary The global warming and rapid climate change that we are witnessing is
generally influencing all of the living world, so all species must necessarily cope with these …

The effects of acclimation temperature on insect thermal performance curves are generally
poorly understood but significant for understanding responses to future climate variation and …

Among‐population variation in chill‐coma onset temperature (CTmin) is thought to reflect
natural selection for local microclimatic conditions. However, few studies have investigated …

Geographic variation is characteristic of many physiological traits at the population and
species levels. However, several recent studies have suggested that population-level …
