The full GLMM model for development rates included fixed factors of temperature, photoperiod, diet, larval rearing density, and a dummy variable of temperature variability (constant or variable temperature).
Because summer months had little variability in temperature, we did not include temperature in model 5.
Finally, relative spatial variability in temperature was estimated through two different approaches to capture daytime surface temperature and overnight air temperature.
The variables captured range, central tendency and variability of temperature and precipitation during the 6-month period (Table S1 in Appendix S1).
In addition to seasonal and annual variability in temperature control from below, the possibility of seasonal and annual variability in temperature from topside due to solar variation is also a key component contributing to the overall variability on a large time scale.
Objectives: We assessed the variability of temperature projections and dependent future mortality distributions, using a large panel of temperature simulations based on different climate models and emission scenarios.
This suggests changes in variability of temperature may be more important for health as climate changes than changes of mean temperature.
