The response of ants to climate change
Abstract Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are one of the most dominant terrestrial organisms
worldwide. They are hugely abundant, both in terms of sheer numbers and biomass, on …

Canopy structure and topography jointly constrain the microclimate of human‐modified tropical landscapes
Local‐scale microclimatic conditions in forest understoreys play a key role in sha** the

Limited tolerance by insects to high temperatures across tropical elevational gradients and the implications of global warming for extinction
The critical thermal maximum (CTmax), the temperature at which motor control is lost in
animals, has the potential to determine if species will tolerate global warming. For insects …

Evolution of thermal sensitivity in changing and variable climates
Evolutionary adaptation to temperature and climate depends on both the extent to which
organisms experience spatial and temporal environmental variation (exposure) and how …

Incorporating evolutionary adaptation in species distribution modelling reduces projected vulnerability to climate change
Based on the sensitivity of species to ongoing climate change, and numerous challenges
they face tracking suitable conditions, there is growing interest in species' capacity to adapt …

Thermal variation, thermal extremes and the physiological performance of individuals
In this review we consider how small-scale temporal and spatial variation in body
temperature, and biochemical/physiological variation among individuals, affect the …

Temperature extremes: geographic patterns, recent changes, and implications for organismal vulnerabilities
Extreme temperatures can injure or kill organisms and can drive evolutionary patterns. Many
indices of extremes have been proposed, but few attempts have been made to establish …
