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 …

The interaction of gradual climate trends and extreme weather events since the turn of the
century has triggered complex and, in some cases, catastrophic ecological responses …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Robust evidence exists that certain extreme weather and climate events, especially daily
temperature and precipitation extremes, have changed in regard to intensity and frequency …

Aim Many conservation efforts now focus on mitigating biodiversity loss due to climate
change. While a focus on impacts from mean, long‐term changes in climate is warranted …

In many regions across the globe, extreme weather events such as storms have increased in
frequency, intensity, and duration due to climate change. Ecological theory predicts that …

Ecologists and many evolutionary biologists relate the variation in physiological,
behavioural, life‐history, demographic, population and community traits to the variation in …

Extreme events can be a major driver of evolutionary change over geological and
contemporary timescales. Outstanding examples are evolutionary diversification following …

Extreme events have profound ecological impacts on species and ecosystems, including
range contractions and collapse of entire ecosystems. Although theory predicts that extreme …

As the climate has warmed, many birds have advanced their breeding timing. However, as
climate change also changes temperature distributions, breeding earlier might increase …
