Warmer environments harbor greater thermal trait diversity in moth assemblages
Nature CommunicationsThermal trait diversity is critical for understanding species’ responses to climate change, yet its ecological drivers remain unclear. Using eco-evolutionary simulations and empirical data from 653 moth species across three Asian elevational gradients ...
