Functional ecological genomics to demonstrate general and specific responses to abiotic stress (2007, background): “Water-ice transitions can cause cellular damage via dehydration and physical disruption of membranes, resulting in loss of chemical gradients and eventually cellular death (Sinclair et al. 2003).”
A spatial analysis method (SAM) to detect candidate loci for selection: towards a landscape genomics approach to adaptation (2007, background): “4d); that is, its presence increased with drought, and cold and drought tolerance involve similar physiological processes in insects (Sinclair et al. 2003).”
Adaptive latitudinal shifts in the thermal physiology of a terrestrial isopod (2004, background): “Since arthropods inhabit vastly different environments and have a wide range of distribution, they are good models for studying the effect of temperature on physiological performance (Willott, 1997; Sinclair et al., 2003).”

The importance of fluctuating thermal regimes for repairing chill injuries in the tropical beetle Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) during exposure to low temperature (2004, background): “The resulting prediction of winter survival of the population appears to be incorrect (Baust & Rojas, 1985; Bale, 1989; Sinclair, 2001; Sinclair et al., 2003).”
Tolerance landscapes in thermal ecology (2014, background): “…Society, Functional Ecology, 28, 799–809 freezing tolerant organism that tolerates 5 °C for 120 min might cope with temperatures below zero for longer periods because freezing results in a different physiological state (see Lee 1989; Delinger & Lee 1998; Sinclair 1999; Sinclair et al. 2003).”
A unifying, eco‐physiological framework for animal dormancy (2020, background): “…compared to quiescence or daily torpor) is more common at high latitudes in North American mammals (Ruf & Geiser, 2015), in continental compared to oceanic climates in invertebrates (Convey, 1996; Sinclair et al., 2003), and in terrestrial and freshwater compared to marine taxa (Cáceres, 1997).”
Microclimate impacts of passive warming methods in Antarctica: implications for climate change studies (2011, background): “At higher latitudes, the temperature increases measured inside chambers were probably of little relevance for organisms in relation to the much colder winter temperatures, although they could reduce the occurrence of potentially lethal physiological thresholds (Block 1991; Sinclair et al. 2003b, 20”
Microclimatic buffering and resource‐based habitat in a glacial relict butterfly: significance for conservation under climate change (2009, background): “It stresses the role of the thermal dimension of habitat use and suitability (Magnuson et al., 1979; Sinclair et al., 2003).”
Changes to the elevational limits and extent of species ranges associated with climate change. (2005, background): “In contrast, the lack of significant upward shifts in higher elevational limits may be related to more specific factors such as extreme winter temperatures (Bale et al. 2002; Sinclair et al. 2003).”

Morphological traits are linked to the cold performance and distribution of bees along elevational gradients (2016, background): “Among the large number of mechanisms influencing the thermal performance of organisms (Ramlow, 2000; Sinclair et al., 2003a,b; Angilletta, 2009; Harrison et al., 2012; Kaspari et al., 2015), morphological adaptations (e.g. changes in body size, the length of body appendages or changes in the…”
