In fluctuating thermal conditions, the survival challenge for insects is particularly difficult
because their physiological activities depend upon environmental temperature. The extreme …

Climate change is transforming ecosystems by altering species ranges, the composition of
communities, and trophic interactions. Here, we synthesize recent reviews and subsequent …

Climate plays a key role in sha** population trends and determining the geographic
distribution of species because of limits in species' thermal tolerance. An evaluation of …

Predicting the effects of climate warming on insect pollinators is challenging. Insects are
small, mobile, and can be excellent thermoregulators. We describe behavioral and …

Resistance to and avoidance of stress slow aging and confer increased longevity in
numerous organisms. Honey bees and other superorganismal social insects have two main …

Insects frequently associate with intracellular microbial symbionts (endosymbionts) that
enhance their ability to cope with challenging environmental conditions. Endosymbioses …

Critical thermal limits (CTLs) constrain the performance of organisms, sha** their
abundance, current distributions, and future distributions. Consequently, CTLs may also …

Highlights•Social insects are affected by climate change just like solitary organisms.•Certain
traits allow social insects to cope better with climate change-to some extent.•Specialists will …

Highlights•Host immune responses are linked to stress responses.•Microorganisms have
adaptive strategies to tolerate temperature fluctuations.•Elevated temperature may disrupt …

A honey bee colony functions as an integrated collective, with individuals coordinating their
behaviour to adapt and respond to unexpected disturbances. Nest homeostasis is critical for …
