We integrated the evidence for evolutionary and plastic trait changes in situ in response to
climate change in freshwater invertebrates (aquatic insects and zooplankton). The synthesis …

We review the knowledge about the thermal reaction norms of larval growth in Odonata with
a focus on the temperature response function. We re-analyze literature data and present our …

The use of species traits in basic and applied ecology is expanding rapidly because trait-
based approaches hold the promise to increase our mechanistic understanding of biological …

Many environmental factors, biotic and abiotic interact to influence organismal development.
Given the importance of Aedes aegypti as a vector of human pathogens including dengue …

Aquatic insects are the dominant invertebrate fauna in most freshwater ecosystems, and
figure prominently in the work of a diverse range of researchers, students, and …

Abstract Background Development rates of Aedes aegypti are known to vary with respect to
many abiotic and biotic factors including temperature, resource availability, and intraspecific …

1. Organisms can respond to changing climatic conditions in multiple ways including
changes in phenology, body size or morphology, and range shifts. Understanding how …

Biological traits of organisms are expected to provide increased mechanistic understanding
of species–environment relationships. Linking traits to environmental conditions is, however …

Understanding how changes in species richness pattern correlate with range changes in
different taxonomic and biogeographic groups is important for conservation because it …

As warm-adapted insects of tropical origin, Odonata cope with cold periods by seasonal
regulation and diapause. A model for larval-overwintering species is proposed with three …
