Climate-driven decoupling of a coevolved mutualism between Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana, Asparagaceae) and pollinating yucca moths (Tegeticula synthetica and T. antithetica, Prodoxidae)
Pryce W Millikin, Jeremy B. Yoder
The paper uses Bayesian models to analyze how climate change affects the flowering and fruiting of Joshua trees and their pollinating moths, finding a mismatch in their responses to temperature and precipitation.
