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 …

Microclimates at the land–air interface affect the physiological functioning of organisms
which, in turn, influences the structure, composition, and functioning of ecosystems. We …

Macroclimate warming is often assumed to occur within forests despite the potential for tree
cover to modify microclimates. Here, using paired measurements, we compared the …

Extreme temperature events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate
change. Such events threaten insects, including pollinators, pests and disease vectors …

Motivation More than half of Earth's species are contained in a mere 1.4% of its land area,
but the climates of many of these biodiversity hotspots are projected to disappear as a …

Abstract Southeast Asia (SE Asia) is a known global hotspot of biodiversity and endemism,
yet the region is also one of the most biotically threatened. Ecosystems across the region are …

Forest canopies buffer climate extremes and promote microclimates that may function as
refugia for understory species under changing climate. However, the biophysical conditions …

Climate measurements are needed at a scale at which organisms live and die. Currently
available climate sensors, however, are not well suited for long-term field measurements at …

The distributions of many terrestrial organisms are currently shifting in latitude or elevation in
response to changing climate. Using a meta-analysis, we estimated that the distributions of …

Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most
often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated …
