Insects in high‐elevation streams: Life in extreme environments imperiled by climate change
Climate change is altering conditions in high‐elevation streams worldwide, with largely
unknown effects on resident communities of aquatic insects. Here, we review the challenges …

Fine-scale microclimatic variation can shape the responses of organisms to global change in both natural and urban environments
When predicting the response of organisms to global change, models use measures of
climate at a coarse resolution from general circulation models or from downscaled regional …

Proximal microclimate: Moving beyond spatiotemporal resolution improves ecological predictions
Aim The scale of environmental data is often defined by their extent (spatial area, temporal
duration) and resolution (grain size, temporal interval). Although describing climate data …
