Modelling dispersal of a temperate insect in a changing climate

We construct a novel individual-based random-walk model to assess how predicted global climate change might affect the dispersal rates of a temperate insect. Using a novel approach we obtained accurate field measurements of daily movements for individuals over time to parameterize our model. Males were found to move significantly further on average than females. Significant variation in movement w

The temperature-size rule in ectotherms : May a general explanation exist after all?

The majority of ectotherms mature at a larger size at lower rearing temperatures. Although this temperature-size rule is well established, a general explanation for this phenomenon has remained elusive. In this article, we address the problem by exploring the proximate and ultimate reasons for why a temperate grasshopper, Chorthippus brunneus, is an exception to the temperature-size rule. Using a

What keeps insects small? Time limitation during oviposition reduces the fecundity benefit of female size in a butterfly

Laboratory studies of insects suggest that female fecundity may increase very rapidly with adult size and that mass may often increase close to exponentially with time during larval growth. These relationships make it difficult to see how realistic levels of larval mortality can outweigh the fecundity benefit of prolonged growth. Hence, it is unclear why many insects do not become bigger. In this

Strategic Prototyping Technology Adoption in Startups: Framework, Challenges, and Opportunities

Startups use prototyping to develop and validate their products and business models. For startups, it is important to have a good knowledge of relevant adoption factors, to make decisions regarding which prototyping technology to adopt. In this article, we identify such factors based on our practical experiences of startups in various industries. We define a research framework, describe challenges

Management of urban floods based on tolerable consequences in an uncertain future

Precipitation is intrinsically associated with high uncertainty, which is exacerbated exponentially over time—especially concerning climate change. However, the current design practice in urban drainage infrastructure remains firmly bound to deterministic assumptions regarding the design load. This approach is too simplified—focusing only on the return period of the design event—and ignores the co
