Nature research paper: Extreme escalation of heat failure rates in ectotherms with global warming
. Here we show that the rate of biological processes maintaining growth, homeostasis and ageing in the permissive temperature range increases by 7% per degree Celsius . By contrast, the processes underlying heat failure rate within the stressful temperature range are extremely temperature sensitive, such that heat failure increases by more than 100% per degree Celsius across a broad range of taxa .
, we predict that moderate warming scenarios can increase heat failure rates by 774% and 180% by 2100. This finding suggests that we are likely to underestimate the potential impact of even a modest global warming scenario.
