Do growing degree days predict phenology across butterfly species?
ECOLOGY, 96(6), 1473–1479.
author keywords: climate change; first emergence; growing degree days; Lepidoptera; Ohio, USA; ordinal date; peak abundance; phenology; temperature
TL;DR:
It is shown that GDD acts as a better predictor than date for first emergence in nearly all species, and for peak abundance in more than half of all Species with less ecological flexibility, especially univoltine species, had greater predictability with GDD.
