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.

气候决定了蝾螈的成体形态

美国默里州立大学和阿勒格尼学院的马克-柯克及其同事利用 32 年的标记重捕数据集，结合气候和种群密度调查了 717 只亚利桑那虎螈（Ambystoma mavortium nebulosum）。虽然较长的生长季节直接有利于陆生变态结果，但气候影响（包括长时间的越冬寒流和少量积雪）间接有利于水生变态结果。这项研究强调了预测可塑性结果的复杂性，以及对自然种群进行长期研究以了解相互作用的选择压力的必要性：J. Anim.https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.14187 (2024)

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.
