Effects of temperature on development, survival and reproduction of insects: experimental design, data analysis and modeling.
TLDR
This approach expands, simplifies and unifies the analysis of laboratory data parameterizing the thermal responses of insects in particular and poikilotherms in general, and makes possible the development of process-based phenology models that are based on optimal use of available information.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the relationships between drought and forest fire in the United States
TL;DR: Relationships between drought and fire regimes in United States forests, fire-related drought metrics and expected changes in fire risk, and implications for fire management under climate change are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the impacts of pests and diseases on agricultural systems
Marcello Donatelli,Roger D. Magarey,Simone Bregaglio,Laetitia Willocquet,Jeremy Whish,Serge Savary +5 more
TL;DR: A five-stage roadmap to improve the simulation of the impacts caused by plant diseases and pests is proposed and a new generation of tools based on state-of-the-art knowledge and technologies is needed to allow systems analysis including key processes and their dynamics over appropriate suitable range of environmental variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioural effects of temperature on ectothermic animals: unifying thermal physiology and behavioural plasticity.
TL;DR: A unified framework that should apply to all ectothermic animals is proposed, generalizing temperature's behavioural effects into kinetic effects and integrated effects, and the difficulty in distinguishing adaptive behavioural changes from constraints when observing animals' behavioural responses to temperature is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant–pollinator interactions and phenological change: what can we learn about climate impacts from experiments and observations?
TL;DR: The research on plant–pollinator mismatch is reviewed, assessing the potential for observational and experimental approaches to address particular aspects of the problem and how issues of scale and frequency-dependence in pollinator behaviour affect the interpretation of these ‘temporal transplant' experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Process-Based Models of Phenology for Plants and Animals
Isabelle Chuine,Jacques Régnière +1 more
TL;DR: The strengths and shortcomings of process-based phenology models are reviewed and the divergences in modeling approaches for plants and animals are reviewed, which are mostly due to specificities of the questions they tackle.

Toward a metabolic theory of ecology
James H. Brown,James H. Brown,James F. Gillooly,Andrew P. Allen,Van M. Savage,Van M. Savage,Geoffrey B. West,Geoffrey B. West +7 more
TL;DR: This work has developed a quantitative theory for how metabolic rate varies with body size and temperature, and predicts how metabolic theory predicts how this rate controls ecological processes at all levels of organization from individuals to the biosphere.

Impacts of climate warming on terrestrial ectotherms across latitude.
Curtis Deutsch,Joshua J. Tewksbury,Raymond B. Huey,Kimberly S. Sheldon,Cameron K. Ghalambor,David C. Haak,Paul R. Martin,Paul R. Martin +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that warming in the tropics, although relatively small in magnitude, is likely to have the most deleterious consequences because tropical insects are relatively sensitive to temperature change and are currently living very close to their optimal temperature, so that warming may even enhance their fitness.

The ecological detective : confronting models with data
Ray Hilborn,Marc Mangel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present alternative views of the scientific method and of modeling, and present a scenario and tools of the ecological detective for finding the best fit in a set of working hypotheses.

Shifts in phenology due to global climate change: the need for a yardstick
Marcel E. Visser,Christiaan Both +1 more
TL;DR: Researchers with long-term datasets on phenology are urged to link their data with those that may serve as a yardstick, because documentation of the incidence of climate change-induced mistiming is crucial in assessing the impact of global climate change on the natural world.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of thermal physiology in ectotherms
TL;DR: This review applies classical models of thermal adaptation to predict variation in body temperature within and among populations of mammals and birds and relates these predictions to observations generated by comparative and experimental studies.
