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 …

Body size is central to ecology at levels ranging from organismal fecundity to the functioning
of communities and ecosystems. Understanding temperature‐induced variations in body …

Both oxygen and temperature are fundamental factors determining metabolic performance,
fitness, ecological niches, and responses of many aquatic organisms to climate change …

Linking variation in species' traits to large-scale environmental gradients can lend insight
into the evolutionary processes that have shaped functional diversity and future responses …

Over the last decade, numerous studies have investigated the role of oxygen in setting
thermal tolerance in aquatic animals, and there has been particular focus on arthropods …

Forecasting long‐term consequences of global warming requires knowledge on thermal
mortality and how heat stress interacts with other environmental stressors on different …

Global warming appears to favour smaller-bodied organisms, but whether larger species are
also more vulnerable to thermal extremes, as suggested for past mass-extinction events, is …

Physiological studies contribute to a cause and effect understanding of ecological patterns
under climate change and identify the scope and limits of adaptation. Across most habitats …

Aquatic ecological responses to climatic warming are complicated by interactions between
thermal effects and other environmental stressors such as organic pollution and hypoxia …

A common perception in limnology is that shallow lakes are homogeneously mixed owing to
their small water volume. However, this perception is largely gained by downscaling …
