Rising global temperatures are threatening biodiversity. Studies on the impact of
temperature on natural populations usually use lethal or viability thresholds, termed the …

Terrestrial ectotherms are likely to face increased periods of heat stress as mean
temperatures and temperature variability increase over the next few decades. Here, we …

Understanding the biological impacts of extreme temperatures requires translating
meteorological estimates into organismal responses, but that translation is complex. In …

The thermal range for viability is quite variable among Drosophila species and it has long
been known that these variations are correlated with geographic distribution: temperate …

The effects of heat shock on survival and reproduction of two whitefly species, Trialeurodes
vaporariorum (Westwood) and Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) biotype B (Homoptera …

We analyzed genetic variation among geographically diverse populations of Drosophila and
showed that tropical flies are more tolerant than temperate ones to heat-induced male …

Evolutionary change is interpreted in terms of the near-universal ecological scenario of
stressful environments. Consequently, there is a premium on the energetically efficient …

Heat hardening increases thermal resistance to more extreme temperatures in the
laboratory. However, heat hardening also has negative consequences, and the net benefit …

Structural colors result from an interaction between light and the fine-scale physical structure
of a surface, and are often extremely bright, chromatic, and iridescent. Given that these …

Soil systems are being increasingly exposed to the interactive effects of biological invasions
and climate change, with rising temperatures expected to benefit alien over indigenous …
