Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

Rising global temperatures are threatening biodiversity. Studies on the impact of
temperature on natural populations usually use lethal or viability thresholds, termed the …

With climate change creating a more volatile atmosphere, heatwaves that create thermal
stress for living systems will become stronger and more frequent. Using the flour beetle …

Heatwaves are occurring at an increasing frequency and intensity under ongoing climate
change. As many reproductive traits—including mating behaviour and gamete traits—are …

Climate change is related to an increase in frequency and intensity of extreme events such
as heatwaves. It is well established that such events may worsen the current world‐wide …

Climate change affects the abundance, distribution and activity of natural enemies that are
important for suppressing herbivore crop pests. Moreover, higher mean temperatures and …

Environmental conditions affect insect fitness, with many species constrained by specific
temperature ranges. Aphids are limited to temperate climates and it is hypothesized that this …

Greater climatic variability and extreme climatic events are currently emerging as two of the
most important facets of climate change. Predicting the effects of extreme climatic events …

Parasite‐mediated selection can rapidly drive up resistance levels in host populations, but
fixation of resistance traits may be prevented by costs of resistance. Black bean aphids …

In insects, reproductive success and survival are affected by temperature. Reproduction is
more sensitive than other physiological traits. While the effects of heat stress on females are …
