The seasonal differences in the environmental components considerably affect the
genotypic expression in the form of phenotypic output of silkworm crop such as cocoon …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are known to play ecological and evolutionary roles in this post-
genomic era. Recent research suggests that HSPs are implicated in cardiovascular biology …

Hot days in summer (involving a few hours at particularly high temperatures) are expected to
become more common under climate change. How such events at different life stages affect …

ABSTRACT A mismatch between oxygen availability and metabolic demand may constrain
thermal tolerance. While considerable support for this idea has been found in marine …

BACKGROUND Heatwaves are increasing in frequency and there is growing interest in their
impact on pest organisms. Previous work indicates that effects depend on the timing of the …

A tropical climate prevails in most of the sericultural areas in India, where temperature
increases during the summer lead to adverse effects on temperate bivoltine silkworm rearing …

Abstract In Huang-Huai-Hai Summer Corn Region of China, brief periods of high summer
temperatures have been reported with increasing frequency in recent years. Athetis …

Although thermal variability is known to influence the performance of ectotherms, there is
limited information on the influence of variation in diurnal temperature range (DTR) during …

Silkworms have limited ability to regulate their body temperature upon exposure to varying
atmospheric temperatures. Environmental changes, such as global warming, adversely …

Extreme high temperatures in summer become more and more universal. However, the
effects of high temperature on fitness and performance of different developmental stages in …
