Researchers have established a universal temperature curve that illustrates how temperature influences the performance of various species on Earth.
The study encompasses a wide range of organisms, from microbes to reptiles, demonstrating that performance improves with rising temperatures up to a certain threshold.
These findings may have significant implications for understanding the effects of climate change on biodiversity, as they highlight the critical temperature limits for species performance.
