This study examines how early-life adversity affects growth and mitochondrial metabolism in king penguin chicks, finding higher mitochondrial metabolism in late-born chicks but no clear link to growth patterns.

This study examines local adaptation in marine snails to temperature regimes, finding that low latitude populations exhibit faster growth and early reproduction, while high latitude populations grow slower but reach larger sizes later.

This paper develops a framework linking molecular thermodynamics to macroecological patterns of range expansion, showing that adaptation to warmer temperatures is easier than to cold.

This study shows how genetic and environmental factors shape microbial thermal performance curves and their evolution under temperature changes.

This study shows that diet and temperature interact to affect infection outcomes in Drosophila, with low-carbohydrate diets improving survival but losing this benefit in mated flies under thermal stress.

This study examines the metabolic responses of intertidal mussels to single and repeated freezing, finding recovery periods reduce damage and hypoxia does not drive metabolic changes post-freezing.

This study examines whether temperature and oxygen affect body size and growth in fish over time, finding that temperature has a small effect that varies with modeling assumptions.

The paper presents a Markov chain model to explain temperature scaling of biological rates, finding a three-zone pattern across diverse datasets.

This study compares transcriptional responses to long-term developmental and short-term acclimation temperatures in Pieris rapae, finding distinct gene sets and some overlapping functions.

This study investigates how temperature shifts during different developmental stages affect development time and adult body size in Drosophila melanogaster.

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

This study examines how male tree swallow provisioning and body temperature respond to partner workload and environmental temperature, finding that males limit provisioning below overheating thresholds.

This study identifies proteomic changes during aestivation in cabbage stem flea beetles, finding reduced translation proteins and proteolysis-related proteins at termination, with discrepancies compared to RNA-seq results.

The paper identifies 323 genes with accelerated or decelerated evolutionary rates linked to aestivation in amphibians, including processes like ATP production and protein trafficking.

This study examines how elevation and temperature affect the sensory and cardiac physiology of hoverflies in the Himalayas, finding elevation reduces antennal sensitivity while temperature increases heart rate.

This paper introduces flexTPC, a flexible and interpretable thermal performance curve model that outperforms existing models in predictive performance across microbial and entomological datasets.

This paper reviews body size variation and sexual size dimorphism in spiders across latitude and elevation gradients, finding ecological factors influence these traits more than phylogeny.

The paper identifies genomic regions associated with reproductive diapause variation in Drosophila triauraria across latitudinal gradients using genomic and expression analyses.

This study examines how threespine stickleback respond to different thermal regimes, finding that cold exposure leads to greater weight changes and lower heat shock proteins, suggesting energy trade-offs.

This study shows that mitochondrial plasticity declines with age in three-spined sticklebacks, reducing their thermal resilience as they mature.

TOHMIN quantifies hibernation patterns from body temperature data, revealing diet and sex effects on arousal duration and pre-hibernation period.

This study identifies two regulatory SNPs associated with embryonic heat tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster, showing their correlation with climate variables and demonstrating genotype-to-phenotype links.

The paper compares climate tolerance variation across a broad latitudinal gradient and local environmental heterogeneity in Drosophila melanogaster, finding similar levels of adaptation at both scales.

The paper examines NIR absorption and MIR emittance in birds following or not following Gloger's rule, finding species-specific NIR variation and stable MIR emittance across populations.

This study investigates the cold tolerance of Allocapnia pygmaea, finding it avoids freezing by surviving subzero temperatures and showing limited changes in cryoprotectants except for glycerol and myo-inositol.

The paper investigates how water balance strategies in Pieris rapae butterflies affect nutrient allocation and fitness under drought conditions.
