Bumblebees are ubiquitous, cold‐adapted eusocial bees found worldwide from subarctic to
tropical regions of the world. They are key pollinators in most temperate and boreal …

Recognition that evolution operates on the same timescale as ecological processes has
motivated growing interest in eco-evolutionary dynamics. Nonetheless, generating sufficient …

Many Drosophila species differ widely in their distributions and climate niches, making them
excellent subjects for evolutionary genomic studies. Here, we have developed a database of …

Understanding evolutionary responses to variation in temperature and precipitation across
species ranges is of fundamental interest given ongoing climate change. The importance of …

Adaptation to environmental stress is critical for long-term species persistence. With climate
change and other anthropogenic stressors compounding natural selective pressures …

Climate change globally perturbs water circulation thereby influencing ecosystems including
cultivated land. Both harmful and beneficial species of insects are likely to be vulnerable to …

Nutritional deprivation or desiccation can influence thermal tolerance by impacting the
insects' ability to evaporatively cool, maintain cell membrane integrity and conduct protective …

Chromosomal inversions are a ubiquitous feature of genetic variation. Theoretical models
describe several mechanisms by which inversions can drive adaptation and be maintained …

Water availability is a major environmental challenge to a variety of terrestrial organisms. In
insects, desiccation tolerance varies predictably over spatial and temporal scales and is an …

Abstract Background The highly polyphagous Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni
Froggatt) expanded its range substantially during the twentieth century and is now the most …
