Contemporary Climatic Trends Might Predict Ectothermic Insects’ Population Dynamics in the Future
Insect physiology helps understand the responses of insect species to contemporary climatic trends, thus aiding in predicting broader species distribution and population dynamics in the future, mentions Subhash Rajpurohit, Associate Professor of the School of Arts and Sciences, in his recently published article on India Bioscience. Climate change has made ectothermic insects vulnerable due to fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels, impacting their behaviour, fitness, and distribution.
