Disentangling local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in traits associated with altitude and temperature in widespread tropical butterflies.

Climatic stratifications, in particular differences in temperature, occur along altitudinal clines. Understanding divergence across these regions can give insight into speciation and diversification, as well as how species may respond to climate change scenarios. Most past research has focused on temperate regions, yet...
