How much warming can mosquito vectors tolerate?

This study estimates thermal safety margins for 8 mosquito species across their ranges to assess vulnerability to climate warming, finding higher vulnerability in subtropical regions and desert biomes.

Temperature and intraspecific variation affect host-parasite interactions

The paper examines how temperature and intraspecific variation affect host-parasite interactions in aquatic ecosystems using a mosquito and its parasite model system.

A mosquito parasite is locally adapted to its host but not temperature

This study shows that the mosquito parasite Lambornella clarki is locally adapted to its host but not temperature, with higher infection rates on sympatric host populations.

Thermal asymmetries influence effects of warming on stage and size-dependent predator-prey interactions

The paper models temperature-dependent predator-prey interactions with stage dependence, showing warming favors the species with the higher thermal optimum and highlights the role of thermal asymmetry.

Is evolution in response to extreme events good for population persistence?

The paper examines how evolution during extreme events affects population persistence, finding that heritability and phenotypic variance influence extinction risk depending on event duration and severity.

Antagonistic coevolution between multiple quantitative traits: Matching dynamics can arise from difference interactions

The paper shows that multidimensional difference interactions with trait costs can mimic matching interactions in quantitative trait coevolution, suggesting the need to explore higher-dimensional trait spaces.
