Terrestrial arthropods in the Arctic and Antarctic are exposed to extreme and variable
temperatures, and climate change is predicted to be especially pronounced in these …

Invasive species must often survive combinations of environmental conditions that differ
considerably from their native range; however, for a given species it is unclear whether …

High-latitude ectotherms contend with large daily and seasonal temperature variation.
Summer-collected wolf spiders (Araneae; Lycosidae) from sub-Arctic and Arctic habitats …

To understand how global warming will impact biodiversity, we need to pay attention to
those species with higher vulnerability. However, to assess vulnerability, we also need to …

Environmental characteristics act as limiting factors for the establishment and survival of
organisms, and this holds particular significance for ectothermic. Grammostola vachoni is an …

Temperatures in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions are highly variable, with long, and cold
winters, and short summers. Studies on thermal biology of ectotherms from these latitudes …

Temperature, an important factor in the ecological niche, determines the individual fitness,
distribution and abundance of many spider species. Typically, spiders from different habitats …

Anthropogenic climate change is rapidly altering ecosystems, driving range shifts, range
contractions, dwindling population sizes and local extinctions in many species. Some …
