Predictable local adaptation in butterfly photoperiodism but not thermal performance along a latitudinal cline

Abstract In seasonal environments, organisms must synchronize their life cycles to conditions favorable for growth and reproduction. Because season length varies geographically, local adaptation should arise in traits that regulate phenological responses. Geographic photoperiodism clines are well kn...
