Simple Summary Climate change and extreme weather events have a major impact on crop
production and agricultural pests. As generally adaptable organisms, insect pests respond�…

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�…

Several previous studies have investigated changes in insect biodiversity, with some
highlighting declines and others showing turnover in species composition without net�…

Forest microclimates contrast strongly with the climate outside forests. To fully understand
and better predict how forests' biodiversity and functions relate to climate and climate�…

As anthropogenic climate change continues the risks to biodiversity will increase over time,
with future projections indicating that a potentially catastrophic loss of global biodiversity is�…

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�…

Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the
most vulnerable to biodiversity loss. Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment�…

Biodiversity of insects is threatened worldwide. Here, we present a comprehensive review of
73 historical reports of insect declines from across the globe, and systematically assess the�…

A number of studies indicate that tropical arthropods should be particularly vulnerable to
climate warming. If these predictions are realized, climate warming may have a more�…

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and�…
