Selection counteracts developmental plasticity in body-size responses to climate change
Body-size reductions are a pervasive response to climate change, and body size is a central
trait linking together multiple axes of ecology, physiology and life history. Using a …

Drivers of demographic decline across the annual cycle of a threatened migratory bird
Migratory species are rapidly declining but we rarely know which periods of the annual cycle
are limiting for most species. This knowledge is needed to effectively allocate conservation …

Climate change leads to differential shifts in the timing of annual cycle stages in a migratory bird
BM Tomotani, H van der Jeugd, P Gienapp… - Global change …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Shifts in reproductive phenology due to climate change have been well documented in
many species but how, within the same species, other annual cycle stages (eg moult …

How ecological characteristics of seasonal migratory species influence conservation threats and policy needs
Compared to nonmigratory species, seasonal migratory species face different
anthropogenic threats and respond differently to such threats. Protecting seasonal migratory …
