Abstract/Summary

Polar regions are heavily impacted by climate change. Yet, vulnerability assessments suggest little concern about heat-related challenges for polar terrestrial ectotherms. These conclusions are based, however, on assumptions and extrapolation from temperate regions; the limited data available suggest that polar ectotherms are more sensitive to warming than previously recognized.
