Climate change and timing of avian breeding and migration: evolutionary versus plastic changes

A Charmantier, P Gienapp - Evolutionary applications, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Shifts in phenology due to global climate change: the need for a yardstick

ME Visser, C Both - Proceedings of the Royal Society B …, 2005 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Climate change has led to shifts in phenology in many species distributed widely across
taxonomic groups. It is, however, unclear how we should interpret these shifts without some …

Keeping up with a warming world; assessing the rate of adaptation to climate change

ME Visser - Proceedings of the Royal Society B …, 2008 - royalsocietypublishing.org
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 …

The evolutionary ecology of individual phenotypic plasticity in wild populations

DH Nussey, AJ Wilson… - Journal of evolutionary …, 2007 - academic.oup.com
The ability of individual organisms to alter morphological and life‐history traits in response to
the conditions they experience is an example of phenotypic plasticity which is fundamental …

Shifts in caterpillar biomass phenology due to climate change and its impact on the breeding biology of an insectivorous bird

ME Visser, LJM Holleman, P Gienapp - Oecologia, 2006 - Springer
Timing of reproduction has major fitness consequences, which can only be understood
when the phenology of the food for the offspring is quantified. For insectivorous birds, like …

Temperature has a causal effect on avian timing of reproduction

ME Visser, LJM Holleman… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Many bird species reproduce earlier in years with high spring temperatures, but little is
known about the causal effect of temperature. Temperature may have a direct effect on …
