Background The impacts of climate change on phenological responses of species and
communities are well-documented; however, many such studies are correlational and so …

Species have responded to recent climate change via pronounced, but often variable, shifts
in seasonal timing (phenology). Can this variability be accounted for by comparing …

Annual species may increase reproduction by increasing adult body size through extended
development, but risk being unable to complete development in seasonally limited …

The response of insects to climate changes in various aspects has been well documented.
However, there is a dearth of comprehensive review specifically focusing on the response …

An important challenge facing ecologists is to understand how climate change may affect
species performance and species interactions. However, predicting how changes in abiotic …

Understanding the complex dynamics of insect herbivores requires consideration of both
exogenous and endogenous factors at multiple temporal scales. This problem is difficult due …

Aim Stopping the decline of biodiversity is one of today's greatest challenges. To help
address this, we require studies that disentangle the effects of the most important drivers …

Background Global warming is characterized by not only an increase in the daily mean
temperature, but also a diel asymmetric pattern. However, most of the current studies on …

The M etabolic T heory of E cology has renewed interest in using energetics to scale across
levels of ecological organization. Can scaling from individual phenotypes to population …

Invertebrate growth rates have been changing in the Anthropocene. We examine rates of
seasonal maturation in a grasshopper community that has been declining annually greater …
