“…Such a phenotypic trait, for example, could be body size. Body size is a quantitative trait fundamental to life‐history theory and population dynamics (Gibert, Allen, Hruska, & DeLong, ; Pigeon, Ezard, Festa‐Bianchet, Coltman, & Pelletier, ), which has been shown to decline in response to decreases in resource availability (Clements & Ozgul, ), increases in temperature (Forster, Hirst, & Atkinson, , ; Gardner, Peters, Kearney, Joseph, & Heinsohn, ; Tseng et al, ) and increases in harvest rate (Clements et al, ). In our model, the optimum environmental change will affect the dynamics of the phenotype.…”
