Carryover Effects on Reproduction Can Buffer Against Mortality-Driven Population Declines at Elevated Developmental Temperatures.
Article in Ecology letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Carryover effects broadly influence adult performance and population persistence. Although variation in developmental environments can have contrasting effects on survival and reproduction, current predictive models of vulnerability to environmental change typically ignore simultaneous changes in both fitness components. We tested how developmental temperatures shape survival and multiple aspects of reproduction in a plant-living insect (Enchenopa binotata treehoppers) and used population dynamic models to examine the cumulative impact of these complex effects on population growth. We show that elevated developmental temperatures increase adult fertility, offsetting reduced juvenile survival and potentially forestalling population declines following global warming. Moreover, pairing mates from different developmental temperatures exacerbated morphological mismatches between sexes, reducing mating success and sperm transfer. Our findings thereby provide novel evidence that thermal carryover effects can generate assortative mating and selection on adult reproductive morphology, in addition to shaping the relative importance of survival and reproduction for persistence in warming climates.
