Changes in the body size of black-veined white, Aporia crataegi (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), recorded in a natural population in response to different spring weather conditions and at different phases of an outbreak
Changes in body size in response to environmental factors (especially temperature) is one of the crucial traits studied in connection with insect adaptation to climate change.However, current data on the strength and direction of temperature-size responses in Lepidoptera are inconsistent and the reasons for this are unclear.This study investigates
