Evolutionary and plastic responses of freshwater invertebrates to climate change: realized patterns and future potential

R Stoks, AN Geerts, L De Meester - Evolutionary applications, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
We integrated the evidence for evolutionary and plastic trait changes in situ in response to
climate change in freshwater invertebrates (aquatic insects and zooplankton). The synthesis …

Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) as a bridge between ecology and evolutionary genomics

S Bybee, A Córdoba-Aguilar, MC Duryea… - Frontiers in …, 2016 - Springer
Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) present an unparalleled insect model to integrate
evolutionary genomics with ecology for the study of insect evolution. Key features of …

Metabolic costs of altered growth trajectories across life transitions in amphibians

P Burraco, AE Valdés, G Orizaola - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is causing increases in temperature and in the frequency of extreme
weather events. Under this scenario, organisms should maintain or develop strategies to …

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 …

Integrating multiple stressors across life stages and latitudes: Combined and delayed effects of an egg heat wave and larval pesticide exposure in a damselfly

S Sniegula, L Janssens, R Stoks - Aquatic Toxicology, 2017 - Elsevier
To understand the effects of pollutants in a changing world we need multistressor studies
that combine pollutants with other stressors associated with global change such as heat …

Phenological shifts in a warming world affect physiology and life history in a damselfly

M Raczyński, R Stoks, F Johansson, K Bartoń… - Insects, 2022 - mdpi.com
Simple Summary Climate warming affects phenological events of cold-blooded organisms.
In this analysis we studied, in laboratory conditions, the impact of warming and hatching …

A large‐scale latitudinal pattern of life‐history traits in a strictly univoltine damselfly

S Sniegula, MJ Golab, F Johansson - Ecological Entomology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
1. Variation in thermal conditions and season length along latitudinal gradients affect body
size‐related traits over different life stages. Selection is expected to optimise these size traits …

Seasonal time constraints reduce genetic variation in life‐history traits along a latitudinal gradient

S Sniegula, MJ Golab, SM Drobniak… - Journal of Animal …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Time constraints cause strong selection on life‐history traits, because populations need to
complete their life cycles within a shorter time. We therefore expect lower genetic variation in …

Photoperiod and variation in life history traits in core and peripheral populations in the damselfly Lestes sponsa

S Śniegula, SM Drobniak, MJ Gołąb… - Ecological …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
In order to predict evolutionary responses to environmental changes one needs to identify
the evolutionary potential in terms of genetic variation of traits and of the traits' plasticity. We …

Competition magnifies the impact of a pesticide in a warming world by reducing heat tolerance and increasing autotomy

LO de Beeck, J Verheyen, R Stoks - Environmental Pollution, 2018 - Elsevier
There is increasing concern that standard laboratory toxicity tests may be misleading when
assessing the impact of toxicants, because they lack ecological realism. Both warming and …
