Simple Summary Climate change and extreme weather events have a major impact on crop
production and agricultural pests. As generally adaptable organisms, insect pests respond …

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

The wings of Lepidoptera contain a matrix of living cells whose function requires appropriate
temperatures. However, given their small thermal capacity, wings can overheat rapidly in the …

Behavior is one of the major architects of evolution: by behaviorally modifying how they
interact with their environments, organisms can influence natural selection, amplifying it in …

Human activity is changing climatic conditions at an unprecedented rate. The impact of
these changes may be especially acute on ectotherms since they have limited capacities to …

Climate change and agricultural intensification are exposing insect pollinators to
temperature extremes and increasing pesticide usage. Yet, we lack good quantification of …
