No linear models were computed for the fields corresponding to bare soil, assuming that difference in air temperatures in the first 2 m above ground level was negligible (Kearney et al., 2014), and that the air temperature was representative of the temperature experienced by insects. P-values below 0.005 are represented with “***”

and p-values below 0.05 with “**”.
