The results: A new respect for the blinding speed of global warming and a more realistic look at what a hot summer can bring to a nearby pond. Their work in this week’s Proceedings of the Royal Society B has a twist - combining seasons of observational and experimental work in the field and lab with input from a theoretical ecologist, a mathematician with supersized modeling creds. Michigan State University biologists have studied damselflies - which resemble dragonflies and are abundant as both predator and prey in wetlands - to understand what happens throughout their lifecycle from nymph to winged insect, along with what they eat, when summers grow warmer and longer. Scientists scripting supercharged scenarios caution that the difference between seasonal coping and long-term adaption is vast - and tricky to predict. Climate changes are conjuring a whirlwind ride that seems to present some creatures opportunities to thrive.

He then exploits the surviving documentation - from the Hasburgs, their allies, and their adversaries - on the formation of strategy in three crucial case studies: Philip's unsuccessful efforts to maintain his authority in the Netherlands his defective peacetime management of foreign relations with Scotland and England and his failed Armada campaign against England. Geoffrey Parker begins by examining the defining charactersitics of Spain's strategic culture: the king's disticntive system of government the "information overload" that threatened to engulf it and the various strategic priorities and assumptions used to overcome the disparity between aims and means. aking, and the external factors that affected the achievements of his goals.
