蝉是大型半翅目昆虫，具有独特的生活史特征，例如非常长的生命周期，地下/陆地栖息地过渡，木质部汁液喂养和悦耳的声音产生。蝉的这些迷人的特征引起了生理学和生态学研究领域的广泛关注，从而积累了关于其潜在机制及其适应意义的知识。虽然已经记录了群落对最近气候变化的反应，但对它们之间因果关系的理解仍处于初始阶段。在这篇综述中，我们总结了目前的知识蝉的环境适应，以促进更深入地了解气候变化的生理生态后果。我们首先概述了蝉对环境因素的不同反应，主要是温度，以及它们科普自然波动环境的策略。然后，我们通过巩固目前的研究结果来讨论即将到来的气候变化的后果。这篇综述强调了这样一个事实，即健身相关的活动被微调到物种特定的最佳温度，以实现共存物种之间的栖息地隔离，这意味着物种多样性对气候变暖非常敏感。由于其明显的大身体和物种特异性的鸣叫，蝉是有希望的候选人作为生物指示物种监测气候变化的生态影响。我们鼓励未来的工作，不断量化人口和社区层面对即将到来的气候变化的反应，以及揭示生理特征和生态后果之间的机械联系。
Cicadas are large hemipteran insects characterized by unique life‐history traits, such as extraordinarily long life cycles, a subterranean/terrestrial habitat transition, xylem sap‐feeding and melodious sound production. These fascinating features of cicadas have attracted much attention in the research fields of physiology and ecology, resulting in an accumulation of knowledge about the underlying mechanisms and their adaptive significance. Although community‐level responses to recent climate change have already been documented for cicada fauna, an understanding of their causal relationships is still at the initial stages. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about environmental adaptations of cicadas to facilitate a deeper understanding of the ecophysiological consequences of climate change. We first outline the diverse responses of cicadas to environmental factors, mainly temperature, and their strategies to cope with naturally fluctuating environments. Then, we discuss the consequence of upcoming climate change by consolidating the current findings. This review highlights the fact that fitness‐relevant activities are fine‐tuned to a species‐specific temperature optimum to achieve habitat segregation among coexisting species, implying that cicada diversity is highly susceptible to climate warming. As a result of their conspicuous large bodies and species‐specific calling songs, cicadas are promising candidates for use as bioindicator species to monitor ecological impacts of climate change. We encourage future works that continuously quantify population‐ and community‐level responses to upcoming climate change, as well as unveil mechanistic links between physiological traits and ecological consequences.
