Figure 2

Development under environmental variation. In (a), development rate (Eq. 9) is shown with \(\alpha =1.5\times 10^{-5}\), \(T_L=0^oC\), and \(T_H=50^oC\). In (b), mean development time is shown together with the probability densities of three temperature regimes (\(\rho _L\), \(\rho _M\), and \(\rho _H\)). In (c), the number of individuals completing development at each step are shown with respect to the three temperature regimes. Solid lines indicate the median, shaded areas indicate the \(90\%\) range of 1000 simulations, and thick lines indicate simulations with the expected values of each regime.
