When a phenological shift affects a demographic vital rate such as survival or reproduction,
the altered vital rate may or may not have population-level consequences. We review the …

Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are one of the most studied, diverse, and widespread
animal groups, making them an ideal model for climate change research. They are a …

As climate change progresses, we are observing widespread changes in phenotypes in
many plant populations. Whether these phenotypic changes are directly caused by climate …

Abstract Changes in Arctic vegetation can have important implications for trophic
interactions and ecosystem functioning leading to climate feedbacks. Plot-based vegetation …

Background Anthropogenic climate change (ACC) will influence all aspects of plant biology
over coming decades. Many changes in wild species have already been well-documented …

Climate change has prompted an earlier arrival of spring in numerous ecosystems. It is
uncertain whether such changes are occurring in Eastern Boundary Current Upwelling …

The integration of functional traits into vulnerability assessments is a promising approach to
quantitatively capture differences in species sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate …

Frost events during the active growth period of plants can cause extensive frost damage with
tremendous economic losses and dramatic ecological consequences. A common …

Growing concern about the influence of climate change on flowering plants, pollinators, and
the mutualistic interactions between them has led to a recent surge in research. Much of this …

The Arctic tundra is warming rapidly, yet the exact mechanisms linking warming and
observed ecological changes are often unclear. Understanding mechanisms of change …
