The pivotal question in the debate on the ecological effects of climate change is whether
species will be able to adapt fast enough to keep up with their changing environment. If we …

Recent shifts in phenology in response to climate change are well established but often
poorly understood. Many animals integrate climate change across a spatially and temporally …

Migration, broadly defined as directional movement to take advantage of spatially distributed
resources, is a dramatic behaviour and an important component of many life histories that …

Photoperiodism is the ability of organisms to assess and use the day length as an
anticipatory cue to time seasonal events in their life histories. Photoperiodism is especially …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the potential consequences of mistiming and
identifies a number of ways in which either individual birds or bird populations potentially …

Many studies have reported statistically significant associations between bird migratory
phenology and climatic variables, and, consequently, it is mostly accepted that recent shifts …

Physiological Adaptations for Breeding in Birds is the most current and comprehensive
account of research on avian reproduction. It develops two unique themes: the consideration …

Over the last two centuries overhunting, anthropogenic barriers and habitat loss have
disrupted many ungulate migrations. We review the literature on ungulate migration …

The primary nonbiological result of recent rapid climate change is warming winter
temperatures, particularly at northern latitudes, leading to longer growing seasons and new …

Global warming is impacting biodiversity by altering the distribution, abundance, and
phenology of a wide range of animal and plant species. One of the best documented …
