A Fermi liquid with weak attractive interaction undergoes a BCS transition to a superconductor with reducing temperature. With increasing interaction strength, the thermal transition is progressively modified as the high temperature `metallic' phase develops a pseudogap due to pairing fluctuations and the resistivity above T_c shows insulating behaviour. The crossover to insulating character occurs much before the system can be considered to be in the BEC regime of preformed fermion pairs. We use a new Monte Carlo tool to map out the BCS-BEC crossover in the attractive Hubbard model on large two dimensional lattices and explicitly compute the resistivity to demonstrate how the metal to superconductor (MS) thermal transition at weak coupling crosses over to an insulator to superconductor (IS) transition at intermediate coupling. Our high resolution access to the single particle and optical spectrum at finite temperature allows us to completely describe the transport crossover in this longstanding problem.
