How butterflies keep their cool: Physical and ecological traits influence thermoregulatory ability and population trends

Understanding which factors influence the ability of individuals to respond to changing temperatures is fundamental to species conservation under climate change. We investigated how a community of butterflies responded to fine‐scale changes in air temperature, and whether species‐specific responses...
