Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Faced with climate warming, ectothermic species shift their breeding phenology, which is in part attributed to an acceleration of gestation or incubation in warmer environments.

How Air Temperature and Solar Radiation Impact Life History Traits in a Wild Insect
Ecology and EvolutionEctotherms are essential components of all ecosystems. They rely on external heat sources like air temperature and solar radiation to regulate their body temperature and optimise life history traits.

Warm waters undermine cryptic female choice
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the thermal sensitivity of reproductive interactions is crucial given global warming. Previous studies have almost exclusively focused on interactions before mating, even though important interactions between the sexes also occur after mating (e.g.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Trait distributions provide insight into how niches overlap within a broader trait space. By integrating individual‐level trait observations from different communities, we can explore how facets of trait dimensionality vary across environmental conditions.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Highlights: The contribution of winter and early spring‐available fruit (Aucuba japonica, Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla, and Viscum album) to the performance of D. suzukii depended on their P:C ratio and biophysical properties Even though D. suzukii performance was the lowest in A.

Seasonal variation of behavioural thermoregulation in a fossorial salamander (Ambystoma maculatum)
Royal Society Open ScienceTemperature seasonality plays a pivotal role in shaping the thermal biology of ectotherms. However, we still have a limited understanding of how ectotherms maintain thermal balance in the face of varying temperatures, especially in fossorial species. Due

Ontology-Based Quality Evaluation of Value Generalization Hierarchies for Data Anonymization
, 2015 In privacy-preserving data publishing, approaches using Value Generalization Hierarchies (VGHs) form an important class of anonymization algorithms. VGHs play a key role in the utility of published datasets as they dictate how the anonymization of the ...

Thermal imprinting modifies adult stress and innate immune responsiveness in the teleost sea bream [PDF]
, 2017 The impact of thermal imprinting on the plasticity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis and stress response in an adult ectotherm, the gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata, L.), during its development was assessed.

The Effect of Fluctuating Temperatures During Development on Fitness-Related Traits of Scatophaga stercoraria (Diptera: Scathophagidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Development of ectotherms is highly temperature dependent. Studies using variable thermal environments can improve ecological relevance of data because organisms naturally face day-to-day stochastic temperature fluctuations as well as seasonal changes in
