Insects in a warmer world: ecological, physiological and life‐history responses of true bugs (Heteroptera) to climate change (2007, background): “There was, however, a considerable difference in postdiapause reproductive performance between females from different series (Musolin & Numata, 2003b).”
Too hot to handle? Phenological and life‐history responses to simulated climate change of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) (2010, methodology): “The proper timing of both reaching the overwintering stage and diapause induction is vitally important for winter survival of insects (Danks, 1987; Musolin & Numata, 2003b; Bradshaw & Holzapfel, 2008).”
Some like it hot! Rapid climate change promotes changes in distribution ranges of Nezara viridula and Nezara antennata in Japan (2009, methodology): “…depends on ambient temperature: as few as 2.5% of adults survived the very severe winter of 1962/1963 in Wakayama Prefecture when mean January temperature fell to +2.9 °C, whereas survival rate is much higher in warm winters (Kiritani et al., 1966; Kiritani, 1971, 2007; Musolin & Numata, 2003b).”
