The geographical distribution of heating degree-days (HDDs) in Greece is studied by means
of special maps. HDDs are calculated by using daily thermal parameters (daily maximum …

We studied the influence of nest-site selection on nest temperature and clutch sex ratio in a
northern population of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta). Comparison of characteristics of …

The response of communities to climate extremes can be quite variable. Much of this
variation has been attributed to differences in community‐specific functional trait diversity, as …

The mechanisms allowing the widespread invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to survive from
early spring until the availability of the first fruit crops are still unclear. Seasonal biology and …

Abstract Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura; Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a key pest of sweet
cherry and small fruits worldwide. The present studies were designed to describe the …

Environmental sex determination may yield biased sex ratios, as is the case in many
reptilian species with temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD). Determining TSD …

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the modelling tools available for
integrating climate change impacts into pest risk assessments (PRA), elucidating the …

We analysed the current climate of seven winegrowing regions of Mexico and their possible
changes during the 21st century. Various bioclimatic indices were calculated with …

Cereal–legume cover crop mixtures have the potential to combine the unique strengths of
the component species while taking advantage of interspecific synergies. However, the …

A 2-yr experiment assessed the potential for using soil degree days (DD) to predict
cumulative weed emergence. Emerged weeds, by species, were monitored every 2 wk in …
