Global change includes a substantial increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme high
temperatures (EHTs), which influence insects at almost all levels. The number of studies …

Surviving changing climate conditions is particularly difficult for organisms such as insects
that depend on environmental temperature to regulate their physiological functions. Insects …

Insects are among the most diverse and widespread animals across the biosphere and are
well‐known for their contributions to ecosystem functioning and services. Recent increases …

Recently reported insect declines have raised both political and social concern. Although
the declines have been attributed to land use and climate change, supporting evidence …

Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

Upper thermal limits (CTmax) are frequently used to parameterize the fundamental niche of
ectothermic animals and to infer biogeographical distribution limits under current and future …

Trait‐based approaches are increasingly being used to test mechanisms underlying species
assemblages and biotic interactions across a wide range of organisms including terrestrial …

Climate warming may lower environmental resource levels, growth, and fitness of many
ectotherms. In a classic experiment, Brett and colleagues documented that growth rates of …

The impacts of the changing climate on the biological world vary across latitudes, habitats
and spatial scales. By contrast, the time of day at which these changes are occurring has …

Temperature imposes significant constraints on ectothermic animals, and these organisms
have evolved numerous adaptations to respond to these constraints. While the impacts of …
