基于过程的发育模型预测发育速率和物候作为对多种动态环境因子的生理反应的函数。这些模型可用于分析进化生态学中的各种过程。通过连接生命阶段的模型，他们可以预测生命周期和世代时间。通过结合适应性，他们可以识别限制物种分布的环境和生理因素。通过引入种群方差，他们可以研究种内变异或同步化的机制。通过结合遗传学，他们可以预测不同气候情景下的基因型特异性物候，并检查生命阶段多效性的原因和后果。随着进一步的发展，它们有可能预测基因型特异性范围，并确定在可变和不断变化的环境中决定物候和适应性的关键基因。
Process-based models of development predict developmental rates and phenology as a function of physiological responses to multiple dynamic environmental factors. These models can be adapted to analyze diverse processes in evolutionary ecology. By linking models across life stages, they can predict life cycles and generation times. By incorporating fitness, they can identify environmental and physiological factors that limit species distributions. By incorporating population variance, they can investigate mechanisms of intraspecific variation or synchronization. By incorporating genetics, they can predict genotype-specific phenology under diverse climatic scenarios and examine causes and consequences of pleiotropy across life stages. With further development, they have the potential to predict genotype-specific ranges and identify key genes involved in determining phenology and fitness in variable and changing environments.
