Body size is a key parameter of organism fitness. While the impact of climate change on body size has received increasing attention, the long‐term consequences of landscape fragmentation are still poorly known. These two major global threats may potentially induce opposite trends: the decrease of body size in warmer environments (e.g. individuals developing faster) or the selection of larger individuals in fragmented habitats (e.g. large individuals more capable of reaching distant patches).

上个世纪景观破碎化和气候变化对大黄蜂体型变化的影响

身体大小是机体适应性的关键参数。尽管气候变化对人体尺寸的影响越来越受到关注，但景观破碎化的长期后果仍然鲜为人知。这两个主要的全球威胁可能潜在地引起相反的趋势：在较温暖的环境中身体尺寸的减小（例如，个体发育更快）或在零散的栖息地中选择较大的个体（例如，较大的个体更有能力到达较远的地方）。
