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 …

Understanding and predicting how adaptation will contribute to species' resilience to climate
change will be paramount to successfully managing biodiversity for conservation …

Forecasting which species/ecosystems are most vulnerable to climate warming is essential
to guide conservation strategies to minimize extinction. Tropical/mid-latitude species are …

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 …

The thermal limit of ectotherms provides an estimate of vulnerability to climate change. It
differs between contrasting microhabitats, consistent with thermal ecology predictions that a …
