Historic approaches to understanding biological responses to climate change have viewed
climate as something external that happens to organisms. Organisms, however, at least …

Urban expansion across the globe profoundly impacts local biodiversity. The growing body
of urban ecology research on animals has largely focused on mammals and birds, whereas …

Strong sexual selection frequently leads to sexual conflict and ensuing male harm, whereby
males increase their reproductive success at the expense of harming females. Male harm is …

Climate change can disrupt animal fitness by reducing survival, fertility, fecundity and
altering offspring development and survival. While parental care typically helps offspring …

In nature, organisms are exposed to variable and occasionally stressful environmental
conditions. Responses to diurnal and seasonal fluctuations, such as temperature and food …

Simple Summary Cold-blooded organisms can become physiologically challenged when
performing highly oxygen-demanding activities (eg, flight) across different thermal and …

Extreme temperature events, such as heat waves, are increasing in frequency, magnitude,
and duration. These events are believed to contribute to pollinator decline. Critical thermal …

Some sit-and-wait predators, such as antlion larvae, construct traps to capture passing prey.
The location of these traps depends on many abiotic and biotic factors, including …

Although ambush predators were previously considered limited in their cognitive abilities
compared to their widely foraging relatives, there is accumulating evidence it does not hold …

Temperature influences the survival, growth, and development of insects including the
antlion. In the present study, we examined the 24-h rhythm in the pit-building behavior of the …
