Climatic extremes are becoming increasingly common against a background trend of global
warming. In the oceans, marine heatwaves (MHWs)—discrete periods of anomalously warm …

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 …

Several previous studies have investigated changes in insect biodiversity, with some
highlighting declines and others showing turnover in species composition without net …

Temperature affects the rate of all biochemical processes in ectotherms, and is therefore
critical for determining their current and future distribution under global climate change …

As anthropogenic climate change continues the risks to biodiversity will increase over time,
with future projections indicating that a potentially catastrophic loss of global biodiversity is …

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 …

The frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme thermal events are increasing and are
projected to further increase by the end of the century,. Despite the considerable …

Understanding which species and ecosystems will be most severely affected by warming as
climate change advances is important for guiding conservation and management. Both …

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

Climate change could increase species' extinction risk as temperatures and precipitation
begin to exceed species' historically observed tolerances. Using long-term data for 66 …
