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 …

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 …

Insects have diversified through more than 450 million y of Earth's changeable climate, yet
rapidly shifting patterns of temperature and precipitation now pose novel challenges as they …

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

A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future
environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such predictions and …

Insect pests substantially reduce yields of three staple grains—rice, maize, and wheat—but
models assessing the agricultural impacts of global warming rarely consider crop losses to …

Insects are among the most diverse and widespread animals across the biosphere and are
well‐known for their contributions to ecosystem functioning and services. Recent increases …

Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

BACKGROUND Climate change impacts have now been documented across every
ecosystem on Earth, despite an average warming of only~ 1° C so far. Here, we describe the …

Insects have a pivotal role in ecosystem function, thus the decline of more than 75% in insect
biomass in protected areas over recent decades in Central Europe and elsewhere, has …
