• Experimental warming in the field delays phenology and reduces body mass, fat content and survival: Implications for the persistence of a pollinator under climate change (2018, background): “Ectothermic insects are predicted to be particularly vulnerable to heat stress associated with future climate change at mid- latitudes (Hoffmann et al., 2012; Kingsolver et al., 2013).”
• Climate-driven declines in arthropod abundance restructure a rainforest food web (2018, methodology): “Given that the highest ambient temperatures for a given area should have the greatest impact on fitness, especially for ectotherms (144), daily maximum temperatures were utilized in our analyses.”
• Can we predict ectotherm responses to climate change using thermal performance curves and body temperatures? (2016, background): “By contrast, Kingsolver et al. (2013) and Vasseur et al. (2014) argued that temperate species may be more vulnerable to climate warming than are tropical species because of higher thermal variability in temperate zones, which increases the incidence of lethal temperatures, despite lower mean…”
• The unrealized potential of herbaria for global change biology (2017, background): “ular interest, because insects are ectothermic, and, thus, their abundances are expected to shift with global climate warming in many cases (Kingsolver et al. 2013).”
• Increased temperature variation poses a greater risk to species than climate warming (2014, methodology): “by creating a longer growing season) can be counteracted by the negative influence of increased magnitudes and durations of heat stress during summer [11].”
