Temperature response of growth of larval dragonflies–an overview
We review the knowledge about the thermal reaction norms of larval growth in Odonata with
a focus on the temperature response function. We re-analyze literature data and present our …

The multidimensional consequences of the juvenile environment: towards an integrative view of the adult phenotype
MM Kasumovic - Animal Behaviour, 2013 - Elsevier
Early juvenile environments influence trait expression in complex and often nonintuitive
ways. Although the breadth of these effects is well recognized, researchers generally focus …

A cross‐seasonal perspective on local adaptation: metabolic plasticity mediates responses to winter in a thermal‐generalist moth
CM Williams, WD Chick, BJ Sinclair - Functional Ecology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The physiological and ecological impact of the thermal environment across life stages can
result in trade‐offs that determine fitness and population dynamics. Understanding …

Growth, winter preparations and timing of emergence in temperate zone Odonata: control by a succession of larval response patterns
U Norling - International Journal of Odonatology, 2021 - diva-portal.org
As warm-adapted insects of tropical origin, Odonata cope with cold periods by seasonal
regulation and diapause. A model for larval-overwintering species is proposed with three …
