Temperature imposes significant constraints on ectothermic animals, and these organisms
have evolved numerous adaptations to respond to these constraints. While the impacts of …

Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

Life history theory seeks to explain the evolution of the major features of life cycles by
analyzing the ecological factors that shape age-specific schedules of growth, reproduction …

Efforts to recycle organic wastes using black soldier fly (BSF) Hermetia illucens into high-
nutrient biomass that constitutes a sustainable fat (biodiesel) and high-quality protein …

An undergraduate and postgraduate textbook covering the key principles, methodologies,
approaches and practical examples of insect pest management in agricultural, post harvest …

Motivated by the need to solve ecological problems (climate change, habitat fragmentation
and biological invasions), there has been increasing interest in species distribution models …

Urban habitats are characterized by impervious surfaces, which increase temperatures and
reduce water availability to plants. The effects of these conditions on herbivorous insects are …

Simple Summary Rapid population growth and urbanization, continued economic growth,
shifts in dietary patterns towards more animal source foods are major challenges that sub …

Trees provide ecosystem services that counter negative effects of urban habitats on human
and environmental health. Unfortunately, herbivorous arthropod pests are often more …

ABSTRACT A central question in ecology and evolution is to understand why sexual
