Analysis of trait mean and variability versus temperature in trematode cercariae: is there scope for adaptation to global warming?

Abstract excerpt

The potential of species for evolutionary adaptation in the context of global climate change has recently come under scrutiny. Estimates of phenotypic variation in biological traits may prove valuable for identifying species, or groups of species, with greater or lower potential for evolutionary adaptation, as this variation, when heritable, represents the basis for natural selection. Assuming that measures of...
