hypothesis
body size-temperature rule
Higher temperatures shorten larval developmental period leading to smaller adults, where body size exhibits temperature-mediated variation
hypothesis
climate change effects on sociality
The hypothesis that warming climate and earlier snowmelt will increase sociality in bees by lengthening growing seasons and allowing development of multiple broods.
hypothesis
seasonality hypothesis
Early flowering plant species will display greater resistance to frost than species that flower later
hypothesis
thermal mismatch hypothesis
Theory that host susceptibility to pathogens increases as environmental conditions become less favorable for the host
