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 the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

Current trends in population growth and consumption patterns continue to increase the
demand for wheat, a key cereal for global food security. Further, multiple abiotic challenges …

Animal behaviour can lead to varying levels of risk, and an individual's physical condition
can alter the potential costs and benefits of undertaking risky behaviours. How risk‐taking …

Highlights•Fine-scale microclimates provide thermal refugia buffering climate change.•
Thermoregulation can aid for avoiding daily temperature extremes.•Life history variation in …

An asymmetric increase in night‐time temperatures (NT s) on hot days is one of the main
features of global climate change. But the biological effects of an increased night‐time …

Starvation is defined as a failure to consume food following an extrinsic limitation. By
focusing on arthropods, I provide here a detailed review of how starvation affects foraging …

The frequency and duration of periods with high temperatures are expected to increase
under global warming. Thus, even short-lived organisms are increasingly likely to …

Vector-borne pathogens are known to alter the phenotypes of their primary hosts and
vectors, with implications for disease transmission as well as ecology. Here we show that a …

Heat responses can vary ontogenetically in many insects with complex life cycles, reflecting
differences in thermal environments they experience. Such variation has rarely been …
