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

Assessing the impact of climate variation on survival in vertebrate populations
The impact of the ongoing rapid climate change on natural systems is a major issue for
human societies. An important challenge for ecologists is to identify the climatic factors that …

Global seabird response to forage fish depletion—one-third for the birds
Determining the form of key predator-prey relationships is critical for understanding marine
ecosystem dynamics. Using a comprehensive global database, we quantified the effect of …

Climate and the match or mismatch between predator requirements and resource availability
Climate influences a population through a variety of processes, including reproduction,
growth, migration patterns and phenology. Climate may operate either directly through …

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 …

Selection on heritable phenotypic plasticity in a wild bird population
Theoretical and laboratory research suggests that phenotypic plasticity can evolve under
selection. However, evidence for its evolutionary potential from the wild is lacking. We …

Akt-mediated phosphorylation of EZH2 suppresses methylation of lysine 27 in histone H3
Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a methyltransferase that plays an important role in
many biological processes through its ability to trimethylate lysine 27 in histone H3. Here …

Spatial synchrony in the response of a long range migratory species (Salmo salar) to climate change in the North Atlantic Ocean
A major challenge in understanding the response of populations to climate change is to
separate the effects of local drivers acting independently on specific populations, from the …

Spatial ecology and conservation of seabirds facing global climate change: a review
In this review we detail the impact of climate change on marine productivity, on marine
environmental stochasticity and cyclicity, and on the spatio-temporal match–mismatch of …
