Email: nigel.andrew@une.edu.au Nigel’s research focuses on insect biology and climate change responses. He identifyies behavioural, ecological and physiological traits of individuals and whether these traits can then be scaled up to predict changes within and across populations, species, ecological communities and spatial scales: this is fundamental to understanding biotic adaptations to a rapidly changing climate. | | Book Review Editor Maggie Watson
