Does phenological plasticity help or hinder range shifts under climate change?

MA Zettlemoyer, ML Peterson - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Climate warming is predicted to shift species' ranges as previously uninhabitable
environments just beyond the leading range edges become suitable habitat and trailing …

Local adaptation of photoperiodic plasticity maintains life cycle variation within latitudes in a butterfly

O Lindestad, CW Wheat, S Nylin, K Gotthard - Ecology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The seasonal cycle varies geographically and organisms are under selection to express life
cycles that optimally exploit their spatiotemporal habitats. In insects, this often means …

Contemporary climate change and terrestrial invertebrates: evolutionary versus plastic changes

M Schilthuizen, V Kellermann - Evolutionary Applications, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
To forecast the responses of species to future climate change, an understanding of the
ability of species to adapt to long‐term shifts in temperature is crucial. We present a review …

Intra-specific body size variation of ground beetles (Сoleoptera: Сarabidae) in latitudinal gradient

R Sukhodolskaya - Periodicum biologorum, 2016 - hrcak.srce.hr
Background. Large-scale patterns of body size variation have occupied biologists for over a
