Publisher Summary This chapter examines how temperature and climate change affect
reproductive performance in different species and locations. There are several ways in …

Shifts in phenology are already resulting in disruptions to the timing of migration and
breeding, and asynchronies between interacting species,,,–. Recent syntheses have …

Life-history traits reflect how individuals allocate their time and energy to competing
activities, such as growth, maintenance, and reproduction (Roff, 2002). The ability to adjust …

Climate change poses significant challenges to protected area management globally.
Anticipatory climate adaptation planning relies on vulnerability assessments that identify …

Shrubs are expanding in Arctic ecosystems, and herbivores may be influencing this
expansion by reducing the growth of preferred forage species. We synthesized new and …

Arctic and alpine habitats are extreme environments characterized by short breeding
seasons, cold temperatures, limited food availability, and potentially high predation rates …

Alpine grouses are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to their adaptation to
extreme conditions and to their relict distributions in the Alps where global warming has …

1. Recent research reveals the widespread influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO),
a large-scale climatic variation, on northern ungulate populations. Little is known, however …

High-altitude climates, which strongly influence phenology, are determined by global,
regional, and local processes and patterns. Phenology at high altitudes in the temperate …

Climate change is known to affect key life‐history traits, such as body mass, reproduction,
and survival in many species. Animal populations inhabiting mountain habitats are adapted …
