Temperature impacts all behavioral interactions during insect and arachnid reproduction

Temperature shapes the processes and outcomes of behaviors that occur throughout progression insect arachnid mating interactions reproduction. Here, we highlight how temperature impacts precopulatory activity levels, competition among rivals, communication with potential mates, relative costs benefits mating. We review both prevailing conditions during reproductive temperatures experienced early in life influence mating-related behavior. To effectively predict consequences global warming for behavior, advocate future work universally integrates a function-valued approach to measuring thermal sensitivity. A will be especially useful understanding fine-scale variation current selection on interactions.
