Understanding how natural populations will respond to rapid anthropogenic climate change
is one of the greatest challenges for ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Much research …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the modern ecological and evolutionary contexts
of the evolutionary physiology in insects and provides a survey of sources of environmental …

Diamond quantum thermometry exploits the optical and electrical spin properties of colour
defect centres in diamonds and, acts as a quantum sensing method exhibiting ultrahigh …

Despite decades of research on the evolution of thermal physiology, at least one
fundamental issue remains unresolved: whether the maximal performance of a genotype …

Widespread recognition of the importance of biological studies at large spatial and temporal
scales, particularly in the face of many of the most pressing issues facing humanity, has …

Climate change is one of the major issues facing natural populations and thus a focus of
recent research has been to predict the responses of organisms to these changes. Models …

Thermal trait variation is of fundamental importance to forecasting the impacts of
environmental change on lizard diversity. Here, we review the literature for patterns of …

Among-population variation in insect thermal performance is important for understanding
patterns and mechanisms of evolution and predicting insect responses to altered climate …

Color patterns in fish are often multicomponent signals, composed of pigment-based and
structural color patches that can be used to communicate within species, in both inter-and …
