Thermoregulatory ability and mechanism do not differ consistently between neotropical and temperate butterflies

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 15, Page 4180-4192, August 2023., 2023
We studied how temperate and neotropical butterflies respond to temperature change. Neotropical butterflies were better at regulating their body temperature than temperate butterflies, mainly because at high air temperatures neotropical butterflies cooled themselves more.

Global warming facilitates the nesting of the loggerhead turtle on the Mediterranean coast of Spain

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 365-380, June 2023., 2023
Average summer sand temperature (July 20th–August 10th) at 40 cm deep in Spanish Mediterranean beaches, as reconstructed from air temperature at El Prat beach, has increased from 1950 to 2019 (top figure). As a result, the duration of the viable nesting window for loggerhead turtles (bottom figure) has also increased and the thermal environment has ...

Upper thermal tolerances and vulnerability to global warming in a Brazilian Caatinga fish Astyanax bimaculatus (Linnaeus, 1758) population

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1157-1161, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Global warming is predicted to increase both average temperatures and the frequency and duration of heat waves. Tropical ectotherms, particularly those living in warm environments are more prone to receive heat impacts. Then, it is crucial to identify those populations already exposed to high temperatures that may be at risk of decimation by ...

Amphibians' Expansion to Record Elevations Influences Chytrid (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) Infection Dynamics

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Peruvian frogs underwent a climate‐driven range expansion into deglaciating mountains, exposing themselves and their fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) to challenging new thermal environments. Bd has dispersed extensively in these new habitats, and elevation may mediate the apparent sublethal impacts of infection for frogs.

It is cool to be clear: Transparency induces a thermal cost in clearwing butterflies

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2452-2464, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In butterflies, wing transparency raises the question of potential costs for vital functions, such as thermoregulation. The thermal melanism hypothesis posits that darker colorations enable higher absorption of solar radiation, leading to the prediction that such ...
