Demographic consequences of phenological shifts in response to climate change
When a phenological shift affects a demographic vital rate such as survival or reproduction,
the altered vital rate may or may not have population-level consequences. We review the …

Light pollution is a driver of insect declines
Insects around the world are rapidly declining. Concerns over what this loss means for food
security and ecological communities have compelled a growing number of researchers to …

Evolutionary and demographic consequences of phenological mismatches
ME Visser, P Gienapp - Nature ecology & evolution, 2019 - nature.com
Climate change has often led to unequal shifts in the seasonal timing (phenology) of
interacting species, such as consumers and their resource, leading to phenological …

Global shifts in the phenological synchrony of species interactions over recent decades
Phenological responses to climate change (eg, earlier leaf-out or egg hatch date) are now
well documented and clearly linked to rising temperatures in recent decades. Such shifts in …

Phenological sensitivity to climate across taxa and trophic levels
Differences in phenological responses to climate change among species can desynchronise
ecological interactions and thereby threaten ecosystem function. To assess these threats …
