Forest microclimates contrast strongly with the climate outside forests. To fully understand
and better predict how forests' biodiversity and functions relate to climate and climate …

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 …

Macroclimatic changes are impacting ecosystems worldwide. However, a large portion of
terrestrial species live under conditions where impacts of macroclimate change are buffered …

Current conservation policy has been shaped by the expectation that, for many species,
places with suitable climate will lie outside their current range, thus leading to predictions of …

Understanding which species and ecosystems will be most severely affected by warming as
climate change advances is important for guiding conservation and management. Both …

Climate warming is causing a shift in biological communities in favor of warm-affinity species
(ie, thermophilization). Species responses often lag behind climate warming, but the …

Macroclimate warming is often assumed to occur within forests despite the potential for tree
cover to modify microclimates. Here, using paired measurements, we compared the …

A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future
environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such predictions and …

Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from
estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic …

Insect pests substantially reduce yields of three staple grains—rice, maize, and wheat—but
models assessing the agricultural impacts of global warming rarely consider crop losses to …
