Woody dicot leaf traits as a palaeoclimate proxy: 100 years of development and application

Robert A. Spicer et al.

Summary: The article reviews the methods of using plant form to reconstruct past climates, focusing on the development of techniques over the past century, particularly the Climate-Leaf Analysis Multivariate Program (CLAMP). It highlights the complex inter-dependant correlations between leaf traits and climate, emphasizing that leaves develop and function as integrated systems adapted to their immediate climatic environment.

'Aerobic scope protection' reduces ectotherm growth under warming

Fredrik Jutfelt et al.

Summary: The research proposes a hypothesis about water-breathing ectothermic animals, suggesting that they regulate peak specific dynamic action response during times of warming by reducing meal sizes to protect postprandial residual aerobic scope, leading to reductions in growth.

Insect body size changes under future warming projections: a case study of Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera)

Rungtip Wonglersak et al.

Summary: The study found that increasing temperature leads to a significant reduction in wing length of certain Chironomidae species, with larger species showing more pronounced changes in body size with temperature variations. Additionally, in most species, there is a notable decrease in wing length as emergence date is delayed.
