Abstract: Habitats of creatures are changing frequently under the background of global climate change, and creatures are subject to a variety of stimulation in life processes, so they would perform a variety of stress responses when the stimulation is beyond a certain range. In order to study the effects of environmental stresses on adaptability of insects, this paper summarized the progress about the influence of temperature, moisture, elevated CO2 and light stresses on existence, growth, physiological metabolism, inheritance and ecological behavior of insects, and prospected the research directions of environmental stresses on insects.
