Herbivore functions in the hot-seat: Resilience of Acanthurus triostegus to marine heatwaves. by Taylor Souza, Jeroen Brijs, Leon Tran, Larry Crowder, Jacob L Johansen

“…Rising temperatures caused significant increases in standard metabolic rate (from ~135 O2 kg-1 h-1 in winter to 224 O2 kg-1 h-1 at the peak of a marine heatwave), but not in the proportion of time spent active (~83-96%) or foraging (~2.4 bites min-1). Consequently, A. triostegus gained body mass during summer and winter, but lost ~0.8% body mass per day during the marine heatwave. …”

Life-history adaptation under climate warming magnifies the agricultural footprint of a cosmopolitan insect pest by Estelle Burc, Camille Girard-Tercieux, Moa Metz, Elise Cazaux, Julian Baur, Mareike Koppik, Alexandre Rêgo, Alex F Hart, David Berger

“…Here, we predict how climate change adaptation in life-history traits of insect pests affects their growth rates and impact on agricultural yields by unifying thermodynamics with classic theory on resource acquisition and allocation trade-offs between foraging, reproduction, and maintenance. Our model predicts that warming temperatures will favour resource allocation towards maintenance coupled with increased resource acquisition through larval foraging, and the evolution of this life-history strategy results in both increased population growth rates and per capita host consumption, causing a double-blow on agricultural yields. …”

Large Carpenter Bees as Agricultural Pollinators by Tamar Keasar

“…Large carpenter bees (genus Xylocopa) are wood-nesting generalist pollinators of broad geographical distribution that exhibit varying levels of sociality. Their foraging is characterized by a wide range of food plants, long season of activity, tolerance of high temperatures, and activity under low illumination levels. …”
