As temperatures increase worldwide due to anthropogenic climate change, scientists are scrambling to figure out if species will be able to survive rapidly warming ecosystems. A new study in Global ...

Escape studies often focus on one variable, but tactics and refuge use vary with microhabitats, exposure, distance to refuge, and temperature. We studied these effects and effects of microhabitats and ...

A longitudinal study conducted between February 2021 and June 2022 in Bengaluru city has found how urbanisation affects mosquito ecology and how mosquito species diversity and abundance changes across ...
