Winter is a key driver of individual performance, community composition, and ecological
interactions in terrestrial habitats. Although climate change research tends to focus on …

Frozen winters define life at high latitudes and altitudes. However, recent, rapid changes in
winter conditions have highlighted our relatively poor understanding of ecosystem function …

Ecological research during winter has historically been a low priority in northeastern North
America, an oversight that stems from the commonly accepted notion that there is little …

Climate change is altering life at multiple scales, from genes to ecosystems. Predicting the
vulnerability of populations to climate change is crucial to mitigate negative impacts. We …

Biological responses to climate change are typically communicated in generalized terms
such as poleward and altitudinal range shifts, but adaptation efforts relevant to management …

Climate change is known to affect ecosystems globally, but our knowledge of its impact on
large and widespread mammals, and possibly population-specific responses is still sparse …

Climate is a driver of biotic systems. It affects individual fitness, population dynamics,
distribution and abundance of species, and ecosystem structure and function. Regional …

A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future
environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such predictions and …

Winter ecological processes are important drivers of vegetation and ecosystem functioning
in temperate ecosystems. There, winter conditions are subject to rapid climate change. The …
