There are multiple observations around the globe showing that in many avian species, both
the timing of migration and breeding have advanced, due to warmer springs. Here, we …

Plant secondary compounds (PSCs), also called secondary metabolites, have high chemical
and structural diversity and appear as non-volatile or volatile compounds. These …

Recent climate projections indicate substantial environmental alterations in oceanic island
regions during the 21st century, setting up profound threats to insular floras. Inherent …

We integrated the evidence for evolutionary and plastic trait changes in situ in response to
climate change in freshwater invertebrates (aquatic insects and zooplankton). The synthesis …

Most large terrestrial mammals, including the charismatic species so important for
ecotourism, do not have the luxury of rapid micro-evolution or sufficient range shifts as …

Physiological responses to changes in environmental conditions such as temperature may
partly arise from the resident microbial community that integrates a wide range of bio …

Environment and genetics combine to influence tree growth and should therefore be jointly
considered when evaluating forest responses in a warming climate. Here, we combine …

The climate is changing rapidly, and terrestrial ectotherms are expected to be particularly
vulnerable to changes in temperature and water regime, but also to an increase in extreme …

Increasing human impacts on forests, including unintentional movement of pathogens,
climate change, and large-scale intensive plantations, are associated with an …

Winter chill is expected to decrease in many mild-winter regions under future climatic
conditions. Reliable estimates of the chill requirements (CR) of fruit trees are essential for …
