Knowledge graph centered on quantitative genetic evolutionary model (Pieridae) with 37 nodes and 133 connections. Top connected: phenological mismatch, climate change, elevational gradients, phenotypic plasticity, space use.

Description

Transplant butterflies between high and low elevation sites to quantify differences in flight initiation timing and thermal sensitivity across elevation gradients using caged trials.

Typical Equipment

  • SeeVue window screen
  • bridal veil
  • wooden tent staples
  • cylindrical cages

Output Measurements

  • flight initiation time
  • proportion initiating flight
  • body temperature at flight
