Ectotherms, such as insects, experience non-constant temperatures in nature. Daily mean
temperatures can be derived from the daily maximum and minimum temperatures. However …

The frequency and duration of periods with high temperatures are expected to increase
under global warming. Thus, even short-lived organisms are increasingly likely to …

The study of insect responses to temperature has a long tradition in science, starting from
Réaumur's work on caterpillars in the 18th century. In 1932, Ernst Janisch wrote:'The …

Understanding the relationship between an insect's developmental rate and temperature is
crucial to forecast insect phenology under climate change. In the winter moth Operophtera …

The developmental times of poikilotherms at different stages are significantly affected by
temperature. Most mathematical models describing the temperature-dependent …

Climate change can cause major changes to the dynamics of individual species and to
those communities in which they interact. One effect of increasing temperatures is on insect …

Phenological models based on degree-day accumulation have been developed to support
the integrated pest management of many insects. Most of these models are based on linear …

Simple Summary Diurnal, monthly, or seasonal temperatures can fluctuate substantially.
Daily temperature amplitudes (DTAs) can significantly impact the traits of insects but there is …

The impact of daily temperature variations on arthropod life history remains woefully
understudied compared to the large body of research that has been carried out on the …

Understanding the correspondence between ambient temperature and insect development
is necessary to forecast insect phenology under novel environments. In the face of climate …
