Surviving changing climate conditions is particularly difficult for organisms such as insects
that depend on environmental temperature to regulate their physiological functions. Insects …

Developmental plasticity refers to the property by which the same genotype produces
distinct phenotypes depending on the environmental conditions under which development …

This paper characterizes the heat stress response (HSR) and explores the impact of
temperatures on the immune response of larvae from two chironomid species, Prodiamesa …

Susceptibility to hazardous materials and contamination is largely determined by genetic
make-up and evolutionary history of affected organisms. Yet evolutionary adaptation and …

Genetic variance and functional connectivity are key for species resilience to environmental
change. The tea green leafhopper Empoasca onukii has become the predominant and …

Tropical ectotherms are particularly vulnerable to global warming because their
physiologies are assumed to be adapted to narrow temperature ranges. This study explores …

Pollinating insects are decreasing worldwide in abundance, biomass, and species richness,
affecting the plants that rely on pollinators for fruit production and seed set. Insects are often …

Abstract Evolve and Resquence (E&R) studies are a useful tool to study genomic processes
during rapid adaptation, eg, in the framework of adaptive responses to global climate …

Natural populations experience continuous and often transient changes of environmental
conditions. These in turn may result in fluctuating selection pressures leading to variable …

Metabolic rate, the rate of energy use, underpins key ecological traits of organisms, from
development and locomotion to interaction rates between individuals. In a warming world …
