Contexte Les îlots de chaleur urbaine sont communs à toutes les villes, mais leurs impacts sur les espèces ectothermes, comme les insectes, varient selon la latitude. En effet, il est raisonnable de supposer que les insectes peuvent bénéficier de ces îlots chaleur urbaine à des latitudes élevées, mais subir des contraintes thermiques à des latitudes […]
