  abstract = 	{Many ecological patterns and processes are grounded in the basal trait and process of active movement, rendering not only individual survival possible, but also dynamics of populations and communities. The environment is a decisive external factor constraining movement. Active movement thus represents the spatiotemporal response to the environmental information. However, ongoing global change alters climate conditions, whole landscapes and therefore ecological systems and patterns. The first chapter gives a quantification of movement activity and potential regulatory processes of terrestrial insects in response to heat stress and varying microhabitat conditions using a novel tracking approach (i.e., Radio Frequency Identification; RFID) for terrestrial, running insects. The results show that heterogeneity, which provides distinct microhabitat conditions with thermal refugia and resources, remedies effects of extreme heat and enables animals to lower their activity while still meeting their energetic demands. The second chapter shows the thermal response of movement speed of running, terrestrial beetles across different species and body sizes. Temperature-dependent movement follows a power-law relationship with body mass. Fitting a thermal performance curve to the data yields an allometric and thermodynamic equation to predict movement speed. To quantify the thermal performance of ectotherms under climate change, the third chapter provides a synthesis of the allometric and thermodynamic response of movement and predator-prey theory to calculate the net energy gain. A sensitivity analysis shows how different prey size classes or changes in activity and therefore foraging times affect responses to warming. The results show not only an accurate fit of the model to empirical distribution data, but also highlights its potential for predicting thermal niches and the resulting geographic distributions for plenty of less studied, actively moving invertebrate species.},
