"From one man's persistent and elegant probing of the temperature
biology of bees, we have been led to a deeper understanding of the whole
biology of many insect taxa, and of their interactions with ecological
and environmental stresses: all who work at the interfaces of
physiology, ecology and behaviour have cause to be grateful, and all
should certainly read this book." (Trends in Ecology & Evolution) "An
outstanding source of information, and can be read with profit and
satisfaction by the professional biologist and interested amateur
alike." (Nature)
