Scientists' warning on climate change and insects
Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

Survive a warming climate: insect responses to extreme high temperatures
CS Ma, G Ma, S Pincebourde - Annual Review of Entomology, 2021 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Species better track climate warming in the oceans than on land
There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge
of the coupling between species range shifts and isotherm shifts remains limited. Here, we …

Future temperature extremes threaten land vertebrates
The frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme thermal events are increasing and are
projected to further increase by the end of the century,. Despite the considerable …

The effect of global change on mosquito-borne disease
More than 80% of the global population is at risk of a vector-borne disease, with mosquito-
borne diseases being the largest contributor to human vector-borne disease burden …

Detecting the impact of temperature on transmission of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya using mechanistic models
Recent epidemics of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya have heightened the need to
understand the seasonal and geographic range of transmission by Aedes aegypti and Ae …

Increased temperature variation poses a greater risk to species than climate warming
Increases in the frequency, severity and duration of temperature extremes are anticipated in
the near future. Although recent work suggests that changes in temperature variation will …
