This study improves invasion risk predictions by integrating physiological performance data with species distribution models, showing that cold survival, not growth, limits the northern range of the invasive alga Rugulopteryx okamurae.

This study examines metabolic responses of common waxbills to sub-thermoneutral temperatures, finding that BMR is not a reliable predictor of SMR and that energy-saving strategies involve shallow hypothermia.

The paper assesses biodiversity responses to forest structural complexity across taxa in temperate forests and finds inconsistent relationships.

This study uses a mechanistic species distribution model to predict current and future ranges of the common waxbill, identifying climate-driven expansion risks in Europe.

This study examines thermoregulatory capacities of tropical montane forest birds, finding weak evaporative cooling and narrow thermal ranges linked to vulnerability to climate change.

This study shows Ixodes ricinus nymphs prefer blood with Borrelia infection and low corticosteroid levels over other host blood or higher stress hormone concentrations.

This study examines the metabolic responses of common waxbills to cold temperatures in their native range, identifying a metabolic inflection point at 16°C that may indicate an adaptive energy-saving strategy.
