The thermal ecology of burying beetles: temperature influences reproduction and daily activity in Nicrophorus marginatus

1. Understanding how organisms respond to thermal stress can help predict long‐term population viability under projected climate change models. Behavioural plasticity can mediate the impact of thermal stress; however, some behavioural modifications in response to novel environments act maladaptively and could implicate population persistence.
