Editorial: Climate change and developmental physiology.

This article explores the impact of climate change on developmental physiology in various organisms. It discusses the threats posed by climate change, such as heat stress, food and water security, extreme weather events, and habitat vulnerability. The article emphasizes the importance of researching the physiological effects of climate change on developing organisms and understanding these effects for society. It also examines specific topics related to climate change and developmental physiology, such as the impact of temperature on sea urchin larvae and the effects of extreme temperatures on the growth and reproductive capabilities of certain organisms. Additionally, the article discusses the association between ambient temperature, humidity, and preterm birth risk. It highlights the need for further research in this area to fully understand how climate change affects developmental processes. [Extracted from the article]
