Abstract

As temperatures warm in response to anthropogenic changes (climate change and urbanization), animals must respond adaptively to these changes or be displaced. Here, we use community science data (iNaturalist and BugGuide) to show that melanisation in larval monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus (Linnaeus, 1758)); an endangered species in Canada) is correlated with latitude and temperature across a latitudinal gradient, indicating likely use in thermoregulation. We also predicted that melanisation would decrease in cities where temperatures are consistently higher than rural areas, however we found that while melanisation was lower in urban areas, it was not statistically significant. Our results demonstrate the importance of considering life stage when assessing capacity for adaptation to anthropogenic change in vulnerable animal populations, like monarch butterflies. We also show the value of using community science to sample species (particular those of most concern) distributions across the landscape.

纬度和城市热岛如何影响黑脉金斑蝶(Danaus plexippus)幼虫黑化?
由于人为变化(气候变化和城市化)导致气温变暖,动物必须适应这些变化,否则就会流离失所。在这里,我们使用社区科学数据(iNaturalist和BugGuide)来显示黑化在幼虫帝王蝶(Danaus plexippus (Linnaeus, 1758));(加拿大的一种濒危物种)与纬度和温度在纬度梯度上相关,表明可能用于体温调节。我们还预测,在气温持续高于农村地区的城市,黑化现象会减少,然而,我们发现,虽然城市地区的黑化现象较低,但在统计上并不显著。我们的研究结果表明,在评估脆弱动物种群(如帝王蝶)对人为变化的适应能力时,考虑生命阶段的重要性。我们还展示了利用群落科学对物种(特别是那些最受关注的物种)在景观中的分布进行抽样的价值。

期刊介绍: Published since 1929, the Canadian Journal of Zoology is a monthly journal that reports on primary research contributed by respected international scientists in the broad field of zoology, including behaviour, biochemistry and physiology, developmental biology, ecology, genetics, morphology and ultrastructure, parasitology and pathology, and systematics and evolution. It also invites experts to submit review articles on topics of current interest.
