Plasticity in climate change responses

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...

Evolutionary and environmental determinants of heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in herpetofauna

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on

Control of Woolly Apple Aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum) by Augmenting Earwigs (Forficula auricularis) in the Canopy of Apple Trees

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Apple trees provisioned with five earwigs and a refuge made a small but not significant contribution to woolly apple aphid control. ABSTRACT Woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), is a damaging pest of apple (Malus domestica F.) found in most regions of the world where apples grow.
