Beetle larvae far more heat-sensitive than adults, study finds
Original: Underground beetle larvae far more heat-sensitive than adults, study finds
A new study reports that beetle larvae living underground are far more sensitive to heat than adult beetles, meaning soil-dwelling young stages may be the most vulnerable link in these insects' life cycles as temperatures rise. Researchers say the finding could matter for predicting how insect populations respond to warming soils and climate change.
Why now: The findings are newly published and relevant to concerns about how climate warming affects insects and soil ecosystems.
