Plastic adjustments of physiological tolerance to a particular stressor can result in fitness
benefits for resistance that might manifest not only in that same environment but also be …

Lepidopteran stemborers are the most destructive insect pests of cereal crops in sub‐
Saharan Africa. In nature, these insects are often exposed to multiple environmental …

While the impacts of extreme and rising mean temperatures are well documented, increased
thermal variability associated with climate change may also threaten ectotherm fitness and …

Under stressful thermal environments, insects adjust their behavior and physiology to
maintain key life‐history activities and improve survival. For interacting species, mutual or …

Abstract Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) is an important insect
pest of stored products. In this study, the survival strategies of T. granarium fourth instar …

Organisms, in nature, are often subjected to multiple stressors, both biotic and abiotic.
Temperature and starvation are among the main stressors experienced by organisms in …

BACKGROUND Increasing climatic average temperatures and variability elicit various insect
physiological responses that affect fitness and survival and may influence subsequent …

Desiccation resistance, that is, the ability to reduce water loss, is an ecologically important
trait relevant to all terrestrial organisms, which may constrain species distributions …

Predatory arthropods are used for biological control in greenhouses, but there is increasing
interest to extend their use to the outdoor environment where temperatures are typically …

While single stress responses are fairly well researched, multiple, interactive stress
responses are not-despite the obvious importance thereof. Here, using D. melanogaster, we …
