Advances in breeding phenology outpace latitudinal and elevational shifts for North American birds tracking temperature

MHC Neate-Clegg, BA Tonelli… - Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2024 - nature.com
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 …

Covariation between protandry and sexual size dimorphism is age specific in songbirds

JE Deakin, CG Guglielmo, YE Morbey - Journal of Ornithology, 2024 - Springer
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

P Cuchot, T Bonnet, O Dehorter… - Journal of Animal …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
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

T Nakazawa, YH Hsu, IC Chen - Oikos, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Males and females often desynchronise their mating activity during the breeding season
(intersexual phenological asynchrony). This suggests that the two sexes differentially use …
