  1. Predicting survival of #ectotherms in stressful & variable #thermal environments is important in a time of rapid #ClimateChange. This study shows that a parametric model, including temperature-dependent variance, improves predictions of cumulative #survival curves @PLOSBiology plos.io/4nFOVna

  2. Goldilocks and the Queen Bee: Finding the ideal soilscape temperature for an important pollinator

    Summary & Analysis by Haleigh Yang of “Soilscapes of Mortality Risk Suggest a Goldilocks Effect for Overwintering Ectotherms” by Waybright et al.

  3. Deconninck et al. provides a refreshed view of how plasticity in temperature preference can inform us about the thermoregulatory strategies of ectotherms. An all-new framework that they apply to Drosophila melanogaster.

  4. Waybright & Dillon combine new data on physiology with continental scale ground temperature data to develop landscapes of mortality risk for overwintering ectotherms, and apply the approach to predict mortality risk for overwintering bumble bee queens.
