A cold spell in June 2023 caused temperatures to drop from 23.9C to 10.5C in the Amazon rainforest.

Würzburg researchers studied how animals react to this cold wave.

Insects go into torpor when the temperature is just 0.62C below during the cold wave, but only in the group of dung beetles did the biomass remain low.
