Temporal variation in natural selection is predicted to strongly impact the evolution and
demography of natural populations, with consequences for the rate of adaptation, evolution
of plasticity, and extinction risk. Most of the theory underlying these predictions assumes a
moving optimum phenotype, with predictions expressed in terms of the temporal variance
and autocorrelation of this optimum. However, empirical studies seldom estimate patterns of
fluctuations of an optimum phenotype, precluding further progress in connecting theory with …
