Global change influences species' seasonal occurrence, or phenology. In cold-adapted insects, the activity is expected to start earlier with a warming climate, but contradictory evidence exists, and the reactions may be linked to species-specific traits. Using data from the GBIF database, we selected 105 single-brooded Holarctic butterflies inhabiting broad latitudinal ranges. We regressed patterns of an adult flight against latitudes of the records, controlling for altitude and year effects. Species with delayed flight periods towards the high latitudes, or stable flight periods across latitudes, prevailed over those that advanced their flight towards the high latitudes. The responses corresponded with the species' seasonality (flight of early season species was delayed and flight of summer species was advanced at high latitudes) and oceanic vs. continental climatic niches (delays in oceanic, stability in continental species). Future restructuring of butterfly seasonal patterns in high latitudes will reflect climatic niches, and hence the evolutionary history of participating species.

温带蝴蝶对纬度的物候响应取决于生态特征。

全球变化影响物种的季节性发生或物候。在适应寒冷的昆虫中，预计该活动将在气候变暖时更早地开始，但是存在相反的证据，并且这些反应可能与特定物种的性状有关。利用来自GBIF数据库的数据，我们选择了105个栖息在宽纬度范围内的单亲Holarctic蝴蝶。我们根据记录的纬度对成人飞行的模式进行了回归分析，以控制高度和年份的影响。往高纬度飞行时间延迟或跨纬度稳定飞行时间的物种胜过向高纬度飞行的物种。响应与该物种的 季节性（高纬度地区推迟了早期物种的飞行，夏季物种的飞行提前了）以及海洋与大陆气候生态位（海洋的延迟，大陆物种的稳定性）。高纬度地区蝴蝶季节性格局的未来重组将反映气候利基，从而反映参与物种的进化历史。
