Intrapopulation variance in ecophysiological responses to water limitation in a butterfly metapopulation suggests adaptive resilience to environmental variability.

Abstract excerpt

How organisms that are part of the same trophic network respond to environmental variability over small spatial scales has been studied in a multitude of systems. Prevailing theory suggests a large role for plasticity in key traits among interacting species that allows matching of life cycles or life-history traits across environmental gradients, for instance insects tracking host-plant phenology across variable...
