The frequency and severity of extreme climatic events have increased in many regions during the past several decades (Trenberth et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2013). Understanding the biological impacts of such events is an important challenge for physiologists, ecologists, and evolutionary biologists during this era of ongoing and future climate change (Harvey et al., 2020). The study of extreme high-temperature events (EHTs) has received particular attention during the past decade because of their increasing frequency in many regions (Bailey & van de pol, 2016; Grant et al., 2017; Stoks et al., 2017).A variety of research approaches have been used to study the consequences of EHTs in ectothermic animals. Laboratory measurements of heat tolerance, including critical maximum temperatures (CTmax) and upper lethal temperatures (Tul), can be combined with climatic or microclimatic data to predict the impacts of EHTs on survival or geographical range (Overgaard et al., 2014; Rezende et al., 2020; Sunday et al., 2011). Phenotypic plasticity in heat tolerance has been demonstrated in many terrestrial and aquatic ectotherms (Seebacher et al., 2015), but the potential for plasticity to buffer the ecological impacts of EHTs is unclear (Gunderson & Stillman, 2015). Differences in heat tolerances between interacting species have been used to explore how EHTs can alter the outcomes of interspecific competition or host–parasite interactions (Comeault & Matute, 2021; Furlong & Zalucki, 2017; Moore et al., 2021; Schreven et al., 2017). Recent climate change may also play a role; recent evolutionary increases in heat tolerance or performance at high temperatures have been documented in several temperate insect systems (Diamond et al., 2017; Higgins et al., 2014). These examples illustrate the range of approaches used to explore the impacts of EHTs. However, few studies have integrated laboratory and field experiments to explore the effects
