ABSTRACT Temperature imposes significant constraints on ectothermic animals, and these organisms have evolved numerous adaptations to respond constraints. While the impacts of temperature physiology ectotherms been extensively studied, there are currently no frameworks available that outline multiple often simultaneous pathways by which can affect behaviour. Drawing from literature insects, we propose a unified framework should apply all generalizing temperature's behavioural effects into:...
Abstract Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but also exacerbates harmful other human‐mediated threats. The associated consequences are potentially severe, particularly in terms threats species preservation, as well preservation an array ecosystem services provided by biodiversity. Among affected groups animals insects—central components many ecosystems—for which climate...
1. Climate is an important source of selection on life histories, and local adaptations to climate have been described in several cline studies. Temperature the main climatic factor that has considered as agent selection, whereas other factors may vary with it, such precipitation. 2. We compared life‐history traits five populations Leptopilina boulardi , a Drosophila parasitoid, originating from contrasting climates. Referring studies, we hypothesised shorter lifespan, earlier reproduction,...
The relative fitness rule states that parasitoid females should adopt risk-prone reproductive behaviours when expecting low success. Temperature influences the success of insects by affecting their basal metabolic rate during development, egg load at emergence, and life expectancy as adults. Using an aphid–parasitoid model system, we investigated influence developmental adult temperature on risk-sensitive decision-making females. We considered use a low-quality host nymphal instar aphid...
In the present study, we investigated evolution of life-history traits in main species a community, after arrival new competitor. Two parasitoid species, Leptopilina heterotoma and Asobara tabida, are throughout Rhône Saône valleys, whereas third boulardi, is slowly extending its distribution northwards. presence L. competing parasitoids experience higher mortality lower host availability. Resources should thus be re-allocated between according to these factors. We compared populations A....
Abstract Local climate is an important source of selection on thermal reaction norms that has been well investigated in cline studies, where populations sampled along altitudinal or latitudinal gradients are compared. Several biotic factors vary with climate, but rarely integrated as alternative agents to climatic factors. We tested the hypothesis habitat may select for and magnitude phenotypic plasticity a drosophila parasitoid, independently origin. Leptopilina boulardi , Drosophila...

Co-evolution of host-parasitoid interactions is determined by the costs host resistance, which received empirical evidence, and parasitoid virulence, have been mostly hypothesized. Asobara tabida a parasitoid, mainly parasitizes Drosophila melanogaster D. subobscura, first species being able to resist development while second not. To parasitize resistant hosts, including melanogaster, A. develops sticky eggs, prevent encapsulation, but this virulence mechanism may be costly. Interindividual...
