Life stage hypothesis modeling determines insect vulnerability during developmental life stages to climate extremes by J. Simone Durney, Diane M. Debinski, Stephen F. Matter

“…From the perspective of understanding butterflies as bioindicators in these systems, it is essential to identify influential environmental variables at each life stage that have the greatest effect on population dynamics. Life stage hypothesis modeling was used to assess the effects of multiple temperature and precipitation metrics on the population growth rate of a Parnassius clodius butterfly population from 2009 to 2018. …”

Cause and consequences of Common Snook (Centropomus undecimalis) space use specialization in a subtropical riverscape by Rolando O. Santos, Mack White, W. Ryan James, Natasha M. Viadero, Jordan A. Massie, Ross E. Boucek, Jennifer S. Rehage

“…Projected changes in riverscape hydrological regimes due to water management and climate change accentuate the need to understand the natural variability in animal space use and its implications for population dynamics and ecosystem function. Here, we used long-term tracking of Common Snook (Centropomus undecimalis) movement and trophic dynamics in the Shark River, Everglades National Park from 2012 to 2023 to test how specialization in the space use of individuals (i.e., Eadj) changes seasonally, how it is influenced by yearly hydrological conditions, and its relationship to the between individual trophic niche. …”
