Host Plant Phenology and it's impact on Sympatric Speciation

Phenology discussion Many factors such as latitude, altitude, and the buffering effects of large bodies of water affect climatic conditions, regional differences occur in all biological events. Because of the wide range of variability in climate, scientists look elsewhere to predict natural events. This area of science called Phenology, is an area of science that has received a renewed interest in recent years.
