The thermal macrophysiology of core and marginal populations of the aphid Myzus persicae in Europe
Insects are ectotherms and have limited ability to regulate body temperature above or below ambient and are consequently greatly affected by temperature. The aphid \(Myzus\) \(persicae\) has an extensive distribution throughout Europe from Scandinavia to Southern Spain, representing three distinct …

Nutritional condition and stress response of fishes along a gradient of habitat quality in the St. Lawrence River: physiological consequences of anthropogenic habitat degradation
Anthropogenic alterations to terrestrial habitat (e.g., urbanization, deforestation, agriculture) can have a variety of negative effects on riverine systems that flow through disturbed landscapes. These in-stream changes can alter aquatic population size and community structure; however, the …

Spatial and temporal influences on the physiological condition of invasive silver carp
Bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix) (hereafter, Asian carp) are invasive species that have the potential to negatively influence non-native freshwater systems. Following their introduction to the United States in the early 1970s, Asian carp have become established in …

There’s more than one way to beat the heat: What anal probes reveal about thermal responses in Neotropical beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).
<p>Increasing global temperatures have been linked to shifts in the distributions and preferred microhabitats of terrestrial species. This trend is predicted to impact tropical forest insects, which may already be exposed to conditions that bring them close to their thermal maxima. Tropical …
