Dress for success: climate pressures predict fur insulation and body size in natural and reintroduced populations of a threatened marsupial

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Phenotypic variation in functional traits underpins responses to environmental gradients, influencing thermoregulation, energy balance, and long‐term persistence under climate extremes. Climate change is altering these gradients globally, yet in species that have already disappeared from much of their range, adaptive phenotypes may have also been lost,
