The effects of temperature on cellular, systemic and whole-organism processes can be short-
term, acting within seconds or minutes of a temperature change, or long-term, acting across …

Global, unpredictable temperature increases have strong effects on all organisms,
especially insects. Elucidating the effects of short-term temperature increases on midgut …

Elevated temperatures are expected to rise beyond what the physiology of many organisms
can tolerate. Behavioural responses facilitating microhabitat shifts may mitigate some of this …

Temperature profoundly impacts insect development, but plasticity of reproductive
behaviours may mediate the impacts of temperature change on earlier life stages. Few …

At the southern limit of its range the endangered butterfly Coenonympha oedippus inhabits
grasslands (wet, dry) that differ significantly in the abundance of its larval hostplants (wet> …

Abstract Theory predicts that within‐population differences in the pace‐of‐life can lead to
cohort splitting and produce marked intraspecific variation in body size. Although many …

One of the longest and liveliest debates in the evolutionary and ecological literature has
centred on the existence and magnitude of constraints that can also be described by a …

Theoretical models predict that selection on reaction norms should depend on the relative
frequency of environmental states experienced by a population. We report a laboratory …

Phenotypic flexibility may facilitate range expansion by allowing organisms to maintain high
levels of performance when introduced to novel environments. Phenotypic flexibility, such as …

In seasonal environments, natural selection should favor genotypes that acclimate to slow
and predictable changes in temperature. Selective pressure for acclimation should be …
