Climate microrefugia promote intraspecific trait variability of the Palaearctic ant species Myrmica ruginodis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Topographic depressions in karst areas (dolines) play an outstanding role in maintaining small-scale environmental heterogeneity in homogeneous landscapes. Such depressions can serve as microrefugia for cool-adapted species, providing cooler and more humid conditions than the…

Integrating behavioural thermoregulatory strategy into the animal personality framework using the common lizard, Zootoca vivipara as a model The study of consistent between-individual behavioural variation in single (animal personality) and across two or more behavioural traits (behavioural syndrome) is a central topic of behavioural ecology. Besides behavioural type (individual mean…
