TL;DR: It is shown that the larval development could be shortened in a warmer climate and thereby decreasing the risk of predation, and the interactive effects of warmer temperatures with other abiotic and biotic factors such as day length and food quality are illustrated.

TL;DR: It is concluded that collaboration by researchers from many disciplines is required to evaluate available data regarding the complex interactions involved, to identify knowledge gaps, and facilitate attempts to progress beyond speculation to more robust predictions concerning future levels of insect damage to forests.

TL;DR: The study shows that larval survival is affected by temperature but the direction of the effect is influenced by plant secondary compounds (diterpenes), and suggests that survival of exposed larvae feeding on needles with high diterpene concentrations will decrease with increasing temperature.

TL;DR: The results suggest that predation rates on pine sawfly pupae by voles are influenced by temperature- and habitat-induced variation in the physiology and behaviour of the predator, and not necessarily solely through effects on predator densities as previously proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported results from laboratory and field-enclosure experiments estimating rates of pupal predation by bank voles (Myodes glareolus) on an outbreak insect, the European pine sawfly (Neodiprion sertifer), at different temperatures (15 and 20 A degrees C), in different micro-habitats (sheltered and non-Sheltered), and with or without access to alternative food (sunflower seeds).
