Thermal biology of mosquito-borne disease (2019, background): “Near upper performance limits, constant temperature estimates may not capture non-lethal and time-dependent effects of heat stress (Kingsolver & Woods 2016; Sinclair et al. 2016).”
Modeling temperature‐dependent development rate and phenology in insects: review of major developments, challenges, and future directions (2018, background): “Recent advances have highlighted the importance of thermal performance curves in ecology and entomology, as long as their inherent assumptions are acknowledged (Sinclair et al., 2016).”
Complex responses of global insect pests to climate warming (2020, background): “…– in more species; on other thermal traits, especially upper thermal limits; on fertility or fecundity; on feeding (damage) rates; and in several life- stages (Sinclair et al. 2016) – will be required to confirm whether pests truly are as thermally constrained as suggested by the present data.”
Insect responses to global change offer signposts for biodiversity and conservation (2020, background): “Long-term testing of host plant preferences in the checkerspot butterfly Euphydryas editha shows that colonization can promote the incorporation of new hosts into insect diets (Singer & Parmesan, 1993, 2020).”
Terrestrial insects and climate change: adaptive responses in key traits (2019, methodology): “Thermal sensitivities may also differ across life stages (Sinclair et al., 2016; Zhao et al., 2017) and Kingsolver et al.”
