Conceptual scheme of how we consider range shifts and body-size changes for each species in this study. Each moth species can potentially alter the composition of new assemblages by range shifts (expansions or contractions at upper or lower boundaries) and non-boundary dynamics (local extinction, colonization, or persistence). The size structure of the new assemblages will be determined by changes in species composition at sites and intraspecific body-size changes of each species. As species are expected to reduce body size and move uphill under warming, assemblage size structures will change accordingly. Photo of Mt. Kinabalu taken by I.-C.
