Combining range and phenology shifts offers a winning strategy for boreal Lepidoptera.
Species can adapt to climate change by adjusting in situ or by dispersing to new areas, and these strategies may complement or enhance each other. Here, we investigate temporal shifts in phenology and spatial shifts in northern range boundaries for 289 ...
