The paper integrates organismal thermal stress and recovery models into population dynamics to predict population growth rates under fluctuating temperatures.

This study shows that increased temporal autocorrelation in temperature raises extinction risk for ectotherms by clustering stressful conditions, validated through simulations and experiments.

The paper shows dormancy stabilizes oscillatory dynamics in structured food webs by converting high oscillation frequency into strong restoring force, but not in unstructured networks or those dominated by competitive or mutualistic interactions.

The paper examines how thermal performance traits and acute heat tolerance covary across ectotherm species, finding that both scale with CTmax but TPCmax increases more steeply.

This study shows that the sequence of temperature events, not just their average, affects extinction risk in populations with nonlinear thermal performance.

This study shows that population fluctuations favor the evolution of dormancy, which stabilizes dynamics and can lead to coexistence of dormancy strategies.

The paper develops a stochastic model to assess extinction risk by integrating thermal performance curves with population dynamics, showing how temperature variability affects population persistence.
