Thermoregulatory ability and mechanism do not differ consistently between neotropical and temperate butterflies. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol, 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.

Rapid Ocean Warming Drives Sexually Divergent Habitat Use in a Threatened Predatory Marine Ectotherm. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
How ectothermic, mobile marine predators are responding to climate change is uncertain due to lack of species‐specific data, which can mask the true impact of this threat. We investigate the impact of environmental conditions and thermal extremes on the behavior and distribution of angelsharks, a highly threatened elasmobranch of global conservation ...

Tropical butterflies use thermal buffering and thermal tolerance as alternative strategies to cope with temperature increase

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 9, Page 1759-1770, September 2023., 2023
Tropical butterflies with a stronger ability to thermoregulate have lower thermal tolerance, and vice versa. This implies that species adapt to climate change using one strategy at the expense of the other, and many tropical butterflies may be at risk.

Interspecific differences in microhabitat use expose insects to contrasting thermal mortality

Ecological Monographs, Volume 93, Issue 2, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Ecotones linking open and forested habitats contain multiple microhabitats with varying vegetal structures and microclimatic regimes. Ecotones host many insect species whose development is intimately linked to the microclimatic conditions where they grow (e.g., the leaves of their host plants and the surrounding air).

Lizard thermoregulation revisited after two decades of global warming

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 12, Page 3022-3035, December 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although the effects of global warming on thermoregulation are usually explored using predictions of climate envelop modelling, such effects should best be analysed empirically, studying the same population with the same methods after a long enough period of temperature

Miniature temperature data loggers increase precision and reduce bias when estimating the daily survival rate for bird nests

Journal of Field Ornithology, Volume 92, Issue 4, Page 492-505, December 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Demographic studies of many bird species are challenging because their nests are cryptic, resulting in few nests being found. To maximize statistical power, methods are needed that minimize disturbance while yielding as much information per nest as possible. One way to meet these objectives is to use miniature thermal data loggers to precisely

Reverse diel vertical movements of oceanic manta rays off the northern coast of Peru and implications for conservation

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 2, Issue 1, January–March 2021., 2021
Manta photo supplied by Stephanie Venables Recovered satellite tags revealed fine‐scale reverse diel vertical movements of oceanic manta rays in the coastal and highly stratified waters of northern Peru. Movements appeared to be driven by a strategy of foraging and thermal recovery.
