The paper examines how aridity and grazing independently and interactively shape plant functional traits in Mediterranean mountain grasslands using mixed models and functional diversity analyses.

This study uses GAMs to analyze 110 years of butterfly forewing length data, linking body size changes to ecological and life history traits, and finds sex-specific responses to climate and land use changes.

The paper analyzes climate-driven changes in Swiss butterfly communities, finding a 5.2% decline in body size over two decades and community homogenization.

This study uses historical butterfly museum data to show a century-long decline in body size, more pronounced in warmer biomes, supporting the temperature-size rule.
