Climate change is a defining element of the current ecological landscape, with
consequences ranging from global to local environments. One of the first indices of the …

Autumn remains a relatively neglected season in climate change research in temperate and
arctic ecosystems. This neglect occurs despite the importance of autumn events, including …

Africa is forecasted to experience large and rapid climate change and population growth
during the twenty-first century, which threatens the world's second largest rainforest …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Climate change has resulted in major changes in the phenology
of some species but not others. Long‐term field observational records provide the best …

The merger of phylogenies with ecology has given rise to the field of “community
phylogenetics,” predicated on the assumption that ecological differences among species …

Hydraulic properties control plant responses to climate and are likely to be under strong
selective pressure, but their macro‐evolutionary history remains poorly characterised. To fill …

Background Inaccurate estimates of phylogenetic signal may mislead interpretations of
many ecological and evolutionary processes, and hence understanding where potential …

Phenology has emerged as key indicator of the biological impacts of climate change, yet the
role of functional traits constraining variation in herbaceous species' phenology has …

Breeding timed to match optimal resource abundance is vital for the successful reproduction
of species, and breeding is therefore sensitive to environmental cues. As the timing of …

Plant and animal phenology is shifting in response to urbanization, with most hypotheses
focusing on the 'urban heat island'(UHI) effect as the driver. However, generalities regarding …
