Low‐temperature tolerance in coprophagic beetle species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae): implications for ecological services

1. Low temperatures affect insect functioning and population dynamics. Although temperate species cope with low temperatures better than their tropical counterparts, increasing temperature variability due to climate change exposes tropical species to frequent cold stress. For keystone insect species providing important ecosystem services, low‐temperature tolerances, and behavioural responses remain unknown, hampering predictions under climate change.
