No interaction of fluctuating or constant temperature and virulence of entomopathogenic fungi in two noctuid species
The potential interaction of fluctuating temperature and the virulence of entomopathogens has implications for biological control. The objective of...

Differential Effects of Increasing Vapor Pressure Deficit on Photosynthesis at Steady State and Fluctuating Light
Increasing photosynthetic efficiency in fluctuating light is an important strategy to improve plant growth. In nature, fluctuating light often occurs...

Predicting plant growth response under fluctuating temperature by carbon balance modelling
Quantification of system dynamics is a central aim of mathematical modelling in biology. Defining experimentally supported functional relationships...

Fluctuating environments hinder the ability of female lizards to choose suitable nest sites for their embryos
AbstractNesting behavior is an important part of reproduction that affects maternal fitness. Females of most oviparous species choose microhabitats...

Dynamic changes in evapotranspiration, canopy photosynthesis and expansive growth in open field under rapid fluctuating radiation
In open fields, plants experience dynamic changes in environment, particularly radiation, temperature, wind, and humidity but their short-term...

Patterns in Wing Morphology and Fluctuating Asymmetry in Eulaema nigrita along an Altitudinal Gradient in the Brazilian Rupestrian Grassland
Mountain ecosystems experience abrupt abiotic changes that represent environmental filters for many organisms, sha** their phenotypic expressions....

Emergence Response of Telenomus podisi (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) to Field Temperature Originated from Colonies Reared at Different Temperature Regimes
We studied the impact of field temperature on the emergence of Telenomus podisi Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) after being released as either...

A Metagenomic Time-Series Approach to Assess the Ecological Stability of Microbial Mats in a Seasonally Fluctuating Environment
Microbial mats are complex ecological assemblages that have been present in the rock record since the Precambrian and can still be found in extant...

The effects of temperature on plasticity, shape symmetry and seasonal variation in the freshwater benthic green microalga Micrasterias thomasiana
Desmids are usually abundant in shallow peatland pools. In these localities, water temperature is closely linked to seasonal fluctuations in air...

Diurnal temperature fluctuations improve predictions of developmental rates in the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus
The European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus is a widespread pest in Norway spruce-dominated forests in Eurasia. Predicting its phenology and...

Investigating Circadian Gating of Temperature Responsive Genes
Understanding gene expression dynamics in the context of the time of day and temperature response is an important part of understanding plant...

Coexistence in spatiotemporally fluctuating environments
Ecologists have put forward many explanations for coexistence, but these are only partial explanations ; nature is complex, so it is reasonable to...

Rare and localized events stabilize microbial community composition and patterns of spatial self-organization in a fluctuating environment
Spatial self-organization is a hallmark of surface-associated microbial communities that is governed by local environmental conditions and further...

Onset of estivation in western sand lance Ammodytes japonicus is not solely triggered by elevating water temperature
Western sand lance Ammodytes japonicus exhibits dormancy in summer known as estivation, a distinctive ecology among teleosts. Estivation starts in...

Photosynthesis acclimation under severely fluctuating light conditions allows faster growth of diatoms compared with dinoflagellates
BackgroundDiatoms contribute 20% of the global primary production and are adaptable in dynamic environments. Diatoms always bloom earlier in the...

A Luciferase Imaging-Based Assay for Studying Temperature Compensation of the Circadian Clock
The pace of circadian rhythms remains relatively unchanged across a physiologically relevant range of temperatures, a phenomenon known as temperature...

Interactive effects of nutrient availability, fluctuating supply, and plant parasitism on the post-invasion success of Bidens pilosa
The post-invasion success of alien plant species is determined by many biotic and abiotic factors, but no study has tested the interactive effect of...

Neonatal Brain Temperature Monitoring Based on Broadband Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
We present here the initial development of a novel algorithm based on broadband near-infrared spectroscopy (bNIRS) data to estimate the changes in...

The neritic marine copepod Centropages typicus does not suffer physiological costs from diel temperature fluctuations associated with its vertical migration
Diel vertical migration exposes zooplankton to fluctuating environmental conditions. In our study, we investigated the physiological costs of diel...

Fluctuating asymmetry in the insular population of ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis ryukyuensis, estimating its genetic diversity at extinction
The present study tested the hypothesis that whether limited genetic diversity was the main factor that led the Ryukyu-ayu population on Okinawa-jima...
