“…Mortality of early life stages (i.e. eggs or early larval instars) due to desiccation stress during drought events has been shown as a key determinant of butterfly vulnerability to climate change 26 . The strongest population decreases in butterflies from dry lowland areas might therefore be related – at least partly – to direct physiological limitations when facing water shortage.…”

The climatic preferences of the species determine to a large extent their response to climate change. Temperature preferences have been shown to play a key role in driving trends in animal populations. However, the relative importance of temperature and precipitation preferences is still poorly understood, particularly in systems where ecological processes are strongly constrained by the amount and timing of rainfall. In this study, we estimated the role played by temperature and precipitation preferences in determining population trends for birds and butterflies in a Mediterranean area. Trends were derived from long-term biodiversity monitoring data and temperature and precipitation preferences were estimated from species distribution data at three different geographical scales. We show that population trends were first and foremost related to precipitation preferences both in birds and in butterflies. Temperature preferences had a weaker effect on population trends, and were significant only in birds. The effect of precipitation on population trends operated in opposite directions in the two groups of species: butterfly species from arid environments and bird species from humid habitats are decreasing most. Our results indicate that, although commonly neglected, water availability is likely an important driver of animal population change in the Mediterranean region, with highly contrasting impacts among taxonomical groups.

“…Although we know that the ability to tolerate dry periods will be key for species' climate change responses, there is a missing link between studies examining water balance mechanisms and the effects of altered precipitation on fitness (Chown et al, 2011). A recent study by Klockmann & Fischer (2017) showed desiccation stress significantly reduced hatching success in butterflies, more so than temperature stress.…”

Terrestrial insects and climate change: adaptive responses in key traits

Understanding and predicting how adaptation will contribute to species' resilience to climate change will be paramount to successfully managing biodiversity for conservation, agriculture, and human health‐related purposes. Making predictions that capture how species will respond to climate change requires an understanding of how key traits and environmental drivers interact to shape fitness in a changing world. Current trait‐based models suggest that low‐ to mid‐latitude populations will be most at risk, although these models focus on upper thermal limits, which may not be the most important trait driving species' distributions and fitness under climate change. In this review, we discuss how different traits (stress, fitness and phenology) might contribute and interact to shape insect responses to climate change. We examine the potential for adaptive genetic and plastic responses in these key traits and show that, although there is evidence of range shifts and trait changes, explicit consideration of what underpins these changes, be that genetic or plastic responses, is largely missing. Despite little empirical evidence for adaptive shifts, incorporating adaptation into models of climate change resilience is essential for predicting how species will respond under climate change. We are making some headway, although more data are needed, especially from taxonomic groups outside of Drosophila, and across diverse geographical regions. Climate change responses are likely to be complex, and such complexity will be difficult to capture in laboratory experiments. Moving towards well designed field experiments would allow us to not only capture this complexity, but also study more diverse species.

“…In egg state, egg quality is affected by temperature [9,10], humidity [10,11], predator [12] and neutral conditions [4], which occur when all parameters are in good condition. The probabilities for positive condition are 0.20, 0.25, 0.25, 0.30 (neutral, temperature, humidity, predator).…”

Previous study of butterfly life-cycle algorithms (BLCA) has been done to construct a novel algorithm by impersonating the life-cycle of a real butterfly. The algorithm was tested in measuring the company's growth performance using a balanced scorecard (BSC) strategic planning model. This paper is proposed to continue the previous study by expanding the concept in measuring company growth, not only using BSC but also SWOT analysis as the strategic planning model and then to develop its application through coding procedure and more focused to code the assessment of BLCA. Then, we build the application using Java programming language. As a result, the model could be applied in companies to measure company's growth performance by comparing those two strategic planning models.
