Despite the amount of research on the consequences of global warming on ecological
systems, most studies examine the impact of increases in average temperature. However …

Highlights•Warming dominates the effects of climate change on species interactions in
insects.•Temperature directly affects behaviour, body size and spatiotemporal …

Diverse biochemical and physiological adaptations enable different species of ectotherms to
survive and reproduce in very different temperature regimes, but whether these adaptations …

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 …

Insects have distinct life stages that can differ in their responses to environmental factors. We
discuss empirical evidence and theoretical models for ontogenetic variation in thermal …

Studies have typically used shifts in mean temperatures to make predictions about the biotic
impacts of climate change. Though shifts in mean temperatures correlate with changes in …

Highlights•Population dynamics change with climate means, variances, or the
interaction.•Discrete generations plus climate change can lead to developmental …

Climate change is transforming ecosystems by altering species ranges, the composition of
communities, and trophic interactions. Here, we synthesize recent reviews and subsequent …

All climate change scenarios predict an increase in both global temperature means and the
magnitude of seasonal and diel temperature variation. The nonlinear relationship between …

Climate change will increase both average temperatures and extreme summer
temperatures. Analyses of the fitness consequences of climate change have generally …
