The paper presents a Bayesian framework for variance partitioning in ecological studies, demonstrating its application through a butterfly metapopulation case study and highlighting challenges in interpreting variance components.

The paper investigates how climatic predictability influences the evolution of within- and transgenerational plasticity in a temperate butterfly using time series and common garden experiments.

The paper examines developmental and transcriptomic responses to water-limited host plants in a butterfly metapopulation, revealing heritable variability in plasticity.

The paper examines how temperature, host plant, and family variation affect larval performance traits in Glanville fritillary butterflies, finding significant intraspecific variation and host-dependent responses.

The paper examines how summer drought affects the predictability of local extinctions in a butterfly metapopulation, finding that drought reduces the informativeness of traditional covariates.

The study examines how drought stress affects oviposition preferences and offspring survival in Glanville fritillary butterflies, finding that preferred microhabitats may increase offspring risk under extreme drought.

This study investigates intraspecific variation in cyanogenic toxicity in Heliconius erato, finding substantial variation and potential for adaptive evolution despite limited dietary influence.

The study examines gut microbiota variation in Glanville fritillary caterpillars, finding high phylogenetic structure and limited influence from host plant microbiota, sex, or parasitism.

The paper shows that landscape permeability and individual dispersal variation jointly shape genetic structure in a butterfly metapopulation during expansion.

The study shows that moderate plant water stress improves larval growth, gut microbial diversity, and immune gene expression in the Glanville fritillary butterfly.

The paper examines phenotypic plasticity in a seasonal butterfly and finds that limited genetic variation for plasticity may restrict evolutionary responses to climate change.
