To understand the effects of temperature on biological systems, we compile, organize, and
analyze a database of 1,072 thermal responses for microbes, plants, and animals. The …

Among environmental factors, temperature has a direct and crucial influence on the key life
processes of survival, development, reproduction, and movement of poikilothermic animals …

Thermal performance curves are widely used to describe how ambient temperature impacts
different attributes of ectothermic organisms, from protein function to life-history traits, and to …

Phenological shifts constitute one of the clearest manifestations of climate warming.
Advanced emergence is widely reported in high-latitude ectotherms, but a significant …

Understanding how temperature variation influences the negative (eg self‐limitation) and
positive (eg saturating functional responses) feedback processes that characterize …

Developmental rate models and biological parameters estimated from them, especially
lower and upper temperature thresholds and optimal temperature, can help to forecast …

In species with complex life cycles, population dynamics result from a combination of
intrinsic cycles arising from delays in the operation of negative density‐dependent …

Understanding how temperature influences population regulation through its effects on
intraspecific competition is an important question for which there is currently little theory or …

Thermal performance within predator–prey systems may have profound effects on species
interactions under climate change. However, how the thermal response of predators and …

Simple Summary Understanding the effects of high temperature on pest insects is important
in predicting their population dynamics. Aphis gossypii (Glover) and Acyrthosiphon gossypii …
