Highlights•We provide a simple method to determine the microscale pertinent to small
insects.•Fine-scale microclimates can differ from local microclimates that are widely …

We analyze the effects of changing patterns of thermal availability, in space and time, on the
performance of small ectotherms. We approach this problem by breaking it into a series of …

A list of 1719 chemical compounds identified from headspace samples of floral scent is
presented. The list has been compiled from some 270 published papers, including analyses …

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 …

The last 'hibernation book'was published in 1982, nearly 40 years ago, so clearly an update
was needed. The options were a book written by a single author or an edited book written by …

This paper explores the landscape of integrated sensory signals that are produced by
flowers, and the contextual information that modulates pollinator responses to such signals …

From humans to hermit crabs to deep water plankton, all living things compete for locally
limiting resources. This universal truth unites three bodies of thought--economics, evolution …

This chapter reviews the structures and abundances of the chemical compound groups in a
wider range of plants, and discusses various aspects of variation in floral scent chemistry …

The mitochondrion is often referred as the cellular powerhouse because the organelle
oxidizes organic acids and NADH derived from nutriments, converting around 40% of the …

Background The conical epidermal cells found on the petals of most Angiosperm species
are so widespread that they have been used as markers of petal identity, but their function …
