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

Tropicalization is a term used to describe the transformation of temperate ecosystems by
poleward‐moving tropical organisms in response to warming temperatures. In North …

Insects are among the most diverse and widespread animals across the biosphere and are
well‐known for their contributions to ecosystem functioning and services. Recent increases …

Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

Theory suggests that evolutionary changes in phenotypic plasticity could either hinder or
facilitate evolutionary rescue in a changing climate. Nevertheless, the actual role of evolving …

Insect performance is limited by the temperature of the environment, and in temperate, polar,
and alpine regions, the majority of insects must face the challenge of exposure to low …

Based on the sensitivity of species to ongoing climate change, and numerous challenges
they face tracking suitable conditions, there is growing interest in species' capacity to adapt …

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 …

Gut symbiotic bacteria have a substantial impact on host physiology and ecology. However,
the contribution of gut microbes to host fitness during long-term low-temperature stress is still …

Mass-and laboratory-rearing of insects is a key component of several integrated pest
management strategies. However, mass-or laboratory-rearing can have dramatic effects on …
