Explain how temperature affects population size

High temperature and drying were both associated with greater per capita mortality rate. Smaller population sizes at high temperatures and drying regimes may result from increased desiccation of adults and thus higher mortality. These precipitation effects on adult production are absent at 22°C

Other than toxic metals, temperature rise and low resource availability are factors that are also known to stress populations. A rise in temperature generally accelerates metabolic rates and hence population growth rate
