The thermal physiological performance of invasive species may play a crucial role in
determining their invasion success. In this study, we acclimated two cohorts of hatchlings of …

Body size is an important biotic factor in evolutionary ecology, since it affects all aspects of
insect physiology, life history and, consequently, fitness in ectothermic insects and how …

Background The identification of genes or quantitative trait loci that are expressed in
response to different environmental factors such as temperature and light, through functional …

Environmental variability in coastal oceans associated with upwelling dynamics probably is
one of the most pervasive forces affecting the physiological performance of marine life. As …

Invasion by exotic species has become a threat to the biodiversity of many ecosystems
throughout the world (Conser and Connor 2008). Invasive species are responsible for major …

Fluctuations in temperature govern an individual's physiology. Physiological responses to
temperature may occur acutely, through acclimation, or through adaptation. Specifically …

Species-level responses to environmental change depend on the collective responses of
their constituent populations and the degree to which populations are specialized to local …

Plant pathogen populations inhabit patchy environments with contrasting, variable thermal
conditions. We investigated the diversity of thermal responses in populations sampled over …

Global atmospheric temperatures are rising at accelerated rates, exposing organisms to
novel and potentially unsuitable changes in their environment. In order to survive changes in …

The role of temperature variation in organismal performance is understudied, but is critically
important for understanding the response of biodiversity to climate change. To address this …
