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 …

Plastic responses figure prominently in discussions on insect adaptation to climate change.
Here we review the different types of plastic responses and whether they contribute much to …

Many organisms have complex life cycles with distinct life stages that experience different
environmental conditions. How does the complexity of life cycles affect the ecological and …

Two major intraspecific patterns of adult size variation are plastic temperature‐size (T‐S)
responses and latitude‐size (L‐S) clines. Yet, the degree to which these co‐vary and share …

Temperature provides a powerful theme for exploring environmental adaptation at all levels
of biological organization, from molecular kinetics to organismal fitness to global …

Central ideas from thermal biology, including thermal performance curves and tolerances,
have been widely used to evaluate how changes in environmental means and variances …

Most terrestrial ectotherms experience diurnal and seasonal variation in temperature.
Because thermal performance curves are non-linear, mean performance can differ in …

The temperature‐size rule (TSR) is a widespread phenomenon, which describes the
phenotypic plastic response of species' size to temperature: individuals reared at colder …

In this review we highlight recent advances in four areas in which nutrition shapes the
relationships between organisms: between plants and herbivores, between hosts and their …

Highlights•Temperature and nutrition interact to affect key life history traits: size at maturity,
development rate, reproduction and survival.•Rates of development vary considerably …
