Advances in breeding phenology outpace latitudinal and elevational shifts for North American birds tracking temperature
Terrestrial species can respond to a warming climate in multiple ways, including shifting in
space (via latitude or elevation) and time (via phenology). Evidence for such shifts is often …

Sexes in sync: phenotypic plasticity, sexual selection and phenological synchrony between the sexes in a wild hibernator
Desynchrony of phenological responses to climate change is a major concern for ecological
communities. Potential uncoupling between one of the most fundamental divisions within …

Covariation between protandry and sexual size dimorphism is age specific in songbirds
In many migratory songbirds, males arrive earlier at stopover sites and at the breeding
grounds ('protandry') and older birds precede younger ones, but less is known about age …

How interacting anthropogenic pressures alter the plasticity of breeding time in two common songbirds
Phenological adjustment is the first line of adaptive response of vertebrates when
seasonality is disrupted by climate change. The prevailing response is to reproduce earlier …

Why sex matters in phenological research
Males and females often desynchronise their mating activity during the breeding season
(intersexual phenological asynchrony). This suggests that the two sexes differentially use …

A focus on females can improve science and conservation
As a field, ecology has historically misunderstood or overlooked female organisms, or
assumed that they are 'similar enough'to males. The typical unit of study for ecology …
