A framework for elucidating the temperature dependence of fitness
P Amarasekare, V Savage - The American Naturalist, 2012 - journals.uchicago.edu
Climate warming is predicted to cause large-scale extinctions, particularly of ectothermic
species. A striking difference between tropical and temperate ectotherms is that tropical …

Temperate insects with narrow seasonal activity periods can be as vulnerable to climate change as tropical insect species
The magnitude and ecological impact of climate change varies with latitude. Several recent
models have shown that tropical ectotherms face the greatest risk from warming because …

Degrees of disruption: projected temperature increase has catastrophic consequences for reproduction in a tropical ectotherm
Although climate change models predict relatively modest increases in temperature in the
tropics by the end of the century, recent analyses identify tropical ectotherms as the …

Impacts of climate warming on terrestrial ectotherms across latitude
The impact of anthropogenic climate change on terrestrial organisms is often predicted to
increase with latitude, in parallel with the rate of warming. Yet the biological impact of rising …

Thermodynamics constrains the evolution of insect population growth rates:“warmer is better”
Diverse biochemical and physiological adaptations enable different species of ectotherms to
survive and reproduce in very different temperature regimes, but whether these adaptations …

Relationship between the minimum and maximum temperature thresholds for development in insects
AFG Dixon, A Honěk, P Keil, MAA Kotela, AL Šizling… - Functional Ecology, 2009 - JSTOR
1. The objective of this study was to test the theoretical prediction that the thermal tolerance
range for development in insects should be about 20° C. 2. The data on the thermal …

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

Ecology and evolution of physiological time in insects
F Taylor - The American Naturalist, 1981 - journals.uchicago.edu
The fact that development rate of insects changes with temperature implies that the rate at
which time passes for a developing insect depends upon the temperature regime it …

Elucidating the temperature response of survivorship in insects
P Amarasekare, R Sifuentes - Functional Ecology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In ectotherms, survivorship is dependent on the environmental temperature. This
dependence can take the form of survivorship declining sharply at low and high …

Ontogenetic variation in thermal sensitivity shapes insect ecological responses to climate change
JG Kingsolver, LB Buckley - Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2020 - Elsevier
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 …
