Background The frequency and intensity of droughts are expected to increase under global
change, driven by anthropogenic climate change and water diversion. Precipitation is …

Climate change has altered the timing of recurring biological cycles in both plants and
animals. Phenological changes may be unequal within and among trophic levels, potentially …

Shifts in phenology with climate change can lead to asynchrony between interacting
species, with cascading impacts on ecosystem services. Previous meta-analyses have …

Flowering phenology can vary considerably even at fine spatial scales, potentially leading to
temporal reproductive isolation among habitat patches. Climate change could alter flowering …

Recent reports of insect declines have caused concern among scientists and the public.
Declines in insect abundance and biomass are ubiquitous across many climatic zones and …

The widespread loss of top predators and anthropogenic climate change are two major
environmental crises with pervasive impacts on ecosystems. Climate-related factors such as …

Gaining a comprehensive understanding of all factors influencing fish reproduction in large
rivers is vital for proposing improved river discharge management practices and estimating …

Due to their location at the intersection of marine and freshwater ecosystems, estuaries are
subject to the impacts of global change from both the ocean and land. Recent evidence has …

Mammals that cope with harsh environmental conditions by hibernating show seasonal
variation in body mass, as fat reserves are accumulated during summer and depleted during …
