My recent work has explored (1) climate change and urbanization impacts on biodiversity, (2) climate change implications of the relationship between climatic variability (temperature and precipitation changes) and adaptation, and (3) patterns of tropical biodiversity and conservation. Butterflies have served as our focal study species, but interests extend across a variety of species and systems. Representative Publications Bonebrake, T.C., Deutsch, C.A.
