Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Insect populations are experiencing a global decline due to a variety of human-linked environmental changes. Among these changes, how insects’ physiology might be affected by predicted upslope migration due to climate change is unknown. Being ectotherms, insect physiology is impacted by abiotic factors like ambient temperature that change with elevation. Here, we performed in situ experiments t...
