Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of climate warming on terrestrial ectotherms across latitude.
Curtis Deutsch,Joshua J. Tewksbury,Raymond B. Huey,Kimberly S. Sheldon,Cameron K. Ghalambor,David C. Haak,Paul R. Martin,Paul R. Martin +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that warming in the tropics, although relatively small in magnitude, is likely to have the most deleterious consequences because tropical insects are relatively sensitive to temperature change and are currently living very close to their optimal temperature, so that warming may even enhance their fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putting the Heat on Tropical Animals
TL;DR: To assess whether independent data support these assertions, longterm demographic data on tropical species are required, and the implications of this pattern for species vulnerabilities to climate change have rarely been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why tropical forest lizards are vulnerable to climate warming
Raymond B. Huey,Curtis Deutsch,Joshua J. Tewksbury,Laurie J. Vitt,Paul E. Hertz,Héctor J. Álvarez Pérez,Theodore Garland +6 more
TL;DR: Focal species analyses show that some tropical forest lizards were already experiencing stressful body temperatures in summer when studied several decades ago, and simulations suggest that warming will not only further depress their physiological performance in summer, but will also enable warm-adapted, open-habitat competitors and predators to invade forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial coupling of nitrogen inputs and losses in the ocean
Curtis Deutsch,Jorge L. Sarmiento,Daniel M. Sigman,Nicolas Gruber,Nicolas Gruber,John P. Dunne +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that oceanic nitrogen fixation is closely tied to the generation of nitrogen-deficient waters in denitrification zones, supporting the view that nitrogen fixation stabilizes the oceanic inventory of fixed nitrogen over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increase in crop losses to insect pests in a warming climate
Curtis Deutsch,Joshua J. Tewksbury,Joshua J. Tewksbury,Michelle Tigchelaar,David S. Battisti,Scott C. Merrill,Raymond B. Huey,Rosamond L. Naylor +7 more
TL;DR: The authors' models show that for the three most important grain crops—wheat, rice, and maize—yield lost to insects will increase by 10 to 25% per degree Celsius of warming, hitting hardest in the temperate zone.
