Understanding the ecological consequences of changing environments and extreme climatic events has grown more prominent as climate change scenarios predict more frequent and pronounced fluctuations in temperature (Vázquez, Gianoli, Morris, & Bozinovic, 2017). The world's climate is changing dramatically, to such an extent that the 90% probability interval for global warming from 1990 to 2,100 predicts an increase in average temperatures ranging from 1.7°C to 4.9°C (IPCC, Rahmstorf & Coumou, 2011). And while it is acknowledged that warming temperatures will have a sig
