Curtis Deutsch, an oceanographer at the University of California, Los Angeles, has noted that temperatures in the tropics are more stable year round than they are at higher latitudes, so tropical organisms--particularly ectothermic, or "cold-blooded," ones like insects--are adapted to cope with a narrow range of temperatures. Their greater sensitivity to temperature variation might put them at risk, even with less warming. (source: newsroom.ucla.edu)
