Abstract:Approaching the consequences of climate change demands understanding how
temperature controls species’ responses across key biological aspects,
as well as the coordination of thermal responses across these aspects.
We study the role of temperature in determining the species’ diel,
seasonal, and geographical occurrence, using dung beetles as a model
system. We found that temperature has relatively low –but not
negligible– effects in the three studied species’ aspects, once
accounting for alternative factors. Mo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
