'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)
