Abstract
Mark Kirk, from Murray State University and Allegheny College in the USA, and colleagues, used a 32 year mark–recapture dataset investigating 717 Arizona tiger salamanders (Ambystoma mavortium nebulosum), in the context of climate and population density. While longer growing seasons directly favoured terrestrial metamorphic outcomes, climate impacts including long overwintering cold spells and light snowpacks indirectly favoured aquatic paedomorphic outcomes. The work highlights the complexity in projecting plasticity outcomes, and the need for long-term studies of natural populations to understand interacting selective pressures.

期刊介绍：
Nature Climate Change is dedicated to addressing the scientific challenge of understanding Earth's changing climate and its societal implications. As a monthly journal, it publishes significant and cutting-edge research on the nature, causes, and impacts of global climate change, as well as its implications for the economy, policy, and the world at large.
The journal publishes original research spanning the natural and social sciences, synthesizing interdisciplinary research to provide a comprehensive understanding of climate change. It upholds the high standards set by all Nature-branded journals, ensuring top-tier original research through a fair and rigorous review process, broad readership access, high standards of copy editing and production, rapid publication, and independence from academic societies and other vested interests.
Nature Climate Change serves as a platform for discussion among experts, publishing opinion, analysis, and review articles. It also features Research Highlights to highlight important developments in the field and original reporting from renowned science journalists in the form of feature articles.
Topics covered in the journal include adaptation, atmospheric science, ecology, economics, energy, impacts and vulnerability, mitigation, oceanography, policy, sociology, and sustainability, among others.
