Anthropogenic disturbance inverts microclimate stratification in tropical forests

Cássio Alencar Nunes, Érika Berenguer, Rodrigo Oliveira do Nascimento, Raquel Gasparini Martins, Oliver Metcalf, Alexander Charles Lees, Marielle N. Smith, Joice Ferreira, Ilya M. D. Maclean, Jos Barlow

This study shows that anthropogenic disturbance inverts vertical microclimate stratification in Amazonian forests, with burned forests having hotter understory temperatures during the day and cooler temperatures at night compared to undisturbed forests.

Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Drive Divergent Visible and Near-Infrared Reflectance Patterns in Butterflies

Calista Z.E. Kou, Changku Kang, Matilda Brindle, Ilya M. D. Maclean, Jon R. Bridle, Alex L. Pigot, Robert J. Wilson, Joseph Williamson

This study shows that butterfly visible and near-infrared reflectance respond differently to temperature and UV radiation, with phylogeny influencing trait-environment relationships.

How air temperature and solar radiation impact life history traits in a wild insect

Alexandra S. Gardner, Ilya M. D. Maclean, Rolando Rodríguez‐Muñoz, Alfredo F. Ojanguren, Tom Tregenza

This study examines how air temperature and solar radiation affect life history traits in field crickets, finding that development time is mainly influenced by temperature, while mass at adulthood depends on the interaction between temperature and shading.
