Thermal variability increases the impact of autumnal warming and drives metabolic depression in an overwintering butterfly. by Caroline M Williams, Katie E Marshall, Heath A MacMillan, Jason D K Dzurisin, Jessica J Hellmann, Brent J Sinclair

“…We conclude that thermal variability drives the expression of metabolic suppression in this species; that phenological shifts will have a greater impact on ectotherms in variable thermal environments; and that E. propertius will be more sensitive to shifts in phenology in autumn than in spring. …”
