Simple Summary Climate change and extreme weather events have a major impact on crop
production and agricultural pests. As generally adaptable organisms, insect pests respond …

Body size is central to ecology at levels ranging from organismal fecundity to the functioning
of communities and ecosystems. Understanding temperature‐induced variations in body …

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

This balanced, comprehensive account traces the alterations in body form that insects
undergo as they adapt to seasonal change, exploring both theoretical aspects and practical …

Phenology affects nearly all aspects of ecology and evolution. Virtually all biological
phenomena—from individual physiology to interspecific relationships to global nutrient …

Body size is a key feature of organisms and varies continuously because of the effects of
natural selection on the size‐dependency of resource acquisition and mortality rates. This …

This book provides a modern, synthetic overview of interactions between insects and their
environments from a physiological perspective that integrates information across a range of …

It is widely agreed that fecundity selection and sexual selection are the major evolutionary
forces that select for larger body size in most organisms. The general, equilibrium view is …

The literature on the response of insect species to the changing environments experienced
along altitudinal gradients is diverse and widely dispersed. There is a growing awareness …

According to life‐history theory, growth rates are subject to strong directional selection due
to reproductive and survival advantages associated with large adult body size. Yet, growth is …
