Covariance modulates the effect of joint temperature and food variance on ectotherm life‐history traits

Understanding animal performance in heterogeneous or variable environments is a central question in ecology. We combine modelling and experiments to test how temperature and food availability variance jointly affect life‐history traits of ectotherms. The model predicts that as mean temperatures move...
