Geographic variation in tolerance of transient thermal stress in the mosquito Wyeomyia smithii

Environmental temperature can modify not only rates of ectotherm growth, development, and reproduction, but also, at the extremes, temperature can limit survivorship and ultimately fitness. We studied ectotherm populations from a latitudinal gradient to understand how alterations in the thermal envi...
