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 …

Surviving changing climate conditions is particularly difficult for organisms such as insects
that depend on environmental temperature to regulate their physiological functions. Insects …

Insects are among the most diverse and widespread animals across the biosphere and are
well‐known for their contributions to ecosystem functioning and services. Recent increases …

Heat tolerance is a trait of paramount ecological importance and may determine a species'
ability to cope with ongoing climate change. Although critical thermal limits have …

Considerable evidence exists for local adaptation of critical thermal limits in ectotherms
following adult temperature stress, but fewer studies have tested for local adaptation of …

Temperature and resource availability are key elements known to limit the occurrence and
survival of arthropods in the wild. In the current era of climate change, critical thermal limits …

Increasing heat stress caused by anthropogenic climate change may pose a substantial
challenge to biodiversity due to associated detrimental effects on survival and reproduction …

Heat waves are increasing with global warming and have more dramatic biological effects
on organisms in natural and agricultural ecosystems than mean temperature increase …

Extreme heat in summer is frequent in parts of China, and this likely affects the fitness of the
beetle Ophraella communa, a biological control agent of invasive common ragweed. Here …

Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Most analyses of the
impacts have focused on changes in mean temperature, but increasing variance will also …
