Ectotherms in variable thermal landscapes: a physiological evaluation of the invasive potential of fruit flies species

Climate change and biological invasions pose one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Most analyses of the potential biological impacts have focused on changes in mean temperature, but changes in thermal variance may also impact native and invasive organisms, although differentially. We assessed...
