Abstract: Thermal performance curves (TPCs) represent an increasingly popular tool in ecology for anticipating species responses to climate change. TPC theory has been developed using species that experience similar temperatures during activity and at rest and… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Our aim was to characterize the behavioural and physiological changes provoked by winter shearing of late pregnant ewes. Twelve ewes were shorn at 120 days of gestation, and the remaining 12 ewes remained unshorn… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14949
Abstract: Ticks are obligatorily hematophagous but spend the majority of their lives off host in an unfed state where they must resist starvation between bouts of blood feeding. Survival during these extended offâhost periods is critical… read more here.
