These dynamic their response to environmental and anthropogenic pressures need be understood inform sustainable land use planning into the future. This study centered on bringing together diverse stakeholders explore futures using “Kesho” (meaning “tomorrow” Kiswahili) scenario tool for two of largest islands that comprise Zanzibar...
Abstract Understanding which factors influence the ability of individuals to respond changing temperatures is fundamental species conservation under climate change. We investigated how a community butterflies responded fine‐scale changes in air temperature, and whether species‐specific responses were predicted by ecological or morphological traits. Using data collected across UK reserve network, we 29 butterfly buffer thoracic temperature against temperature. First, tested differences...
