Phenological asynchrony between herbivorous insects and their hosts: signal of climate change or pre-existing adaptive strategy?

MC Singer, C Parmesan - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2010 - royalsocietypublishing.org

Traits of butterfly communities change from specialist to generalist characteristics with increasing land-use intensity

C Börschig, AM Klein, H von Wehrden… - Basic and Applied …, 2013 - Elsevier
Land-use intensification leads to species loss and shifts in community composition, but only
few studies examine how these dynamics affect ecological and life-history traits. We thus …

VM Stevens, A Trochet, S Blanchet… - Evolutionary …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Due to its impact on local adaptation, population functioning or range shifts, dispersal is

Combining climate, land use change and dispersal to predict the distribution of endangered species with limited vagility

F Della Rocca, P Milanesi - Journal of Biogeography, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Many rare species are dispersal‐limited; their colonization capacity can be impacted by
