Introductory text

Arthropods must cope with natural and anthropogenic changes in their environment that constantly challenge their homeostasis. Physiology plays a central role in the regulation and maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Physiological responses to stress and toxic substances thus act as a filter between environmental changes and the ecological performance of individuals. Ecophysiological and ecotoxicological studies therefore provide functional links between the causes and effects of environmental variations. In this special issue, we invite physiological studies that examine and predict the effects of environmental and human-related stressors e.g., temperature, salinity, xenobiotics, pathogens on arthropods. These studies will highlight the useful and necessary contribution of stress physiology and toxicology to better understand and predict the ecology of arthropods in a changing world.
