Abstract Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity, but their ecological impacts remain less well understood than those of gradual climate change, largely owing to the challenge of studying unpredictable, short-lived events. The 2021 western North American heatwave is among the most extreme on record globally, yet a broad assessment of its ecological consequences is lacking.
Introduction Just as global mean surface temperatures are expected to increase over the coming decades (IPCC 2023), so, too, are the frequency, severity, and duration of extreme temperature events such as heatwaves (Oliver et al. 2018, Perkins-Kirkpatrick and Lewis 2020). Extreme temperatures have biological consequences. Heatwaves increase the probability of environmental temperatures surpassing the thermal optima and maxima of organisms (Vasseur et al. 2014).
