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 …
