• Phenotypic plasticity of thermal tolerance contributes to the invasion potential of Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata) (2010, methodology): “However, high and low temperature could be different stressors, and it has been argued that the mechanisms for high and low temperature tolerance may be fundamentally different (Hoffmann et al., 2003; but see discussions in Chown & Nicolson, 2004; Sinclair & Roberts, 2005).”
• Coping with the cold: minimum temperatures and thermal tolerances dominate the ecology of mountain ants (2017, background): “Current and potential future insect geographic distributions, species interactions and ecosystem functions that they mediate are all linked to thermal tolerances (Heinrich, 1996; Chown & Nicolson, 2004).”
