Trait Plasticity in Herbivore Populations Maintains Geographic Patterns of Herbivory on a Dominant Plant Species Under Warming

Across species' geographic ranges, local populations may enlist behavioral, physiological, and morphological plasticity together to cope with stress from changing thermal conditions. But if local populations cannot sufficiently adjust their phenotype, then they may fail to persist, resulting in disassembly of their l...
