Many tropical insects are already close to their heat tolerance limits, raising concerns that rising temperatures could disrupt ecosystems.

Many plants and crops rely on insects to pollinate them so they can reproduce. A new study has shown that several flowering plants from the group Euonymus are pollinated by fungus gnats, a dipteran ...
