Temperature affects the metabolic rates of species, their feeding interactions and their ability to persist in a given environment. Now research suggests that different effects of temperature on consumers and resources could cause food webs in cold climates to become less vulnerable to species loss, whereas tropical communities may be more vulnerable as temperatures climb.

一些食物网更热

温度会影响物种的代谢速率，它们的摄食相互作用以及它们在给定环境中的持久能力。现在的研究表明，温度对消费者和资源的不同影响可能导致寒冷气候中的食物网变得不易遭受物种损失，而热带社区随着温度的升高可能更加脆弱。
