Assessing the heat tolerance (CTmax) of organisms is central to understand the impact of
climate change on biodiversity. While both environment and evolutionary history affect …

Evolutionary history and physiology mediate species responses to climate change. Tropical
species that do not naturally experience high temperature variability have a narrow thermal …

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 …

Ecotones linking open and forested habitats contain multiple microhabitats with varying
vegetal structures and microclimatic regimes. Ecotones host many insect species whose …

Predicting performance responses of insects to climate change is crucial for biodiversity
conservation and pest management. While most projections on insects' performance under …

Tropical mountains display limited variation in monthly temperatures, but high spatial
climatic variability. It is assumed this stability promotes ecological and physiological …

Insects are highly dependent on ambient temperatures to ensure their biological functions.
Their persistence in the environment and their resistance to unfavourable temperatures are …

Climate change is transforming ecosystems by altering species ranges, the composition of
communities, and trophic interactions. Here, we synthesize recent reviews and subsequent …

Communities usually possess a multitude of interconnected trophic interactions within food
webs. Their regulation generally depends on a balance between bottom-up and top-down …

Climate change may have dramatic consequences for communities through both direct
effects of peak temperatures upon individual species and through interspecific mismatches …
