Phenology and plasticity can prevent adaptive clines in thermal tolerance across temperate mountains: The importance of the elevation‐time axis

Phenology and plasticity can prevent adaptive clines in thermal tolerance across temperate mountains: The importance of the elevation‐time axis

Abstract Critical thermal limits (CTmax and CTmin) decrease with elevation, with greater change in CTmin, and the risk to suffer heat and cold stress increasing at the gradient ends. A central prediction is that populations will adapt to the prevailing climatic conditions. Yet, reliable support for...
