Insekter är dåliga på att hantera klimatförändringens högre temperaturer. Risken är stor att de blir överhettade. Både överlevnaden och förmågan att reproducera sig påverkas kraftigt av ökande temperaturer även i områden högt uppe på norra halvklotet, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Insekter kan inte reglera sin egen kroppstemperatur, som istället starkt påverkas av temperaturen i den
