Highlights•We provide a simple method to determine the microscale pertinent to small insects.•Fine-scale microclimates can differ from local microclimates that are widely …
Climate warming is causing a shift in biological communities in favor of warm-affinity species (ie, thermophilization). Species responses often lag behind climate warming, but the …
Ecological research heavily relies on coarse‐gridded climate data based on standardized temperature measurements recorded at 2 m height in open landscapes. However, many …

Many organisms live in environments in which temperatures differ substantially from those measured by standard weather stations. The last decade has witnessed a paradigm shift in …
Forest canopies buffer macroclimatic temperature fluctuations. However, we do not know if and how the capacity of canopies to buffer understorey temperature will change with …
Current climate change aggravates human health hazards posed by heat stress. Forests can locally mitigate this by acting as strong thermal buffers, yet potential mediation by forest …
Species distributions are conventionally modelled using coarse‐grained macroclimate data measured in open areas, potentially leading to biased predictions since most terrestrial …
Forests harbour large spatiotemporal heterogeneity in canopy structure. This variation drives the microclimate and light availability at the forest floor. So far, we do not know how light …
As climate change drives increased drought in many forested regions, mechanistic understanding of the factors conferring drought tolerance in trees is increasingly important …
