Decoupling of bird migration from the changing phenology of spring green-up
EP Robertson, FA La Sorte, JD Mays… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - National Acad Sciences
The green-up of vegetation in spring brings a pulse of food resources that many animals
track during migration. However, green-up phenology is changing with climate change …

Migratory strategy drives species-level variation in bird sensitivity to vegetation green-up
Animals and plants are shifting the timing of key life events in response to climate change,
yet despite recent documentation of escalating phenological change, scientists lack a full …

Increasing phenological asynchrony between spring green-up and arrival of migratory birds
Consistent with a warming climate, birds are shifting the timing of their migrations, but it
remains unclear to what extent these shifts have kept pace with the changing environment …

Shifts in bird migration timing in north American long‐distance and short‐distance migrants are associated with climate change
Bird migration is a synchronized event that has evolved over thousands of years. Changing
temperatures due to climate change threaten the intricacies of migration timing for birds; …

Springing forward: Migrating songbirds catch up with the start of spring in North America
In temperate regions, the annual pattern of spring onset can be envisioned as a 'green
wave'of emerging vegetation that moves across continents from low to high latitudes …

Six decades of North American bird banding records reveal plasticity in migration phenology
KG Horton, SR Morris, BM Van Doren… - Journal of Animal …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The timing of avian migration has evolved to exploit critical seasonal resources, yet plasticity
within phenological responses may allow adjustments to interannual resource phenology …

Advancement in long-distance bird migration through individual plasticity in departure
Globally, bird migration is occurring earlier in the year, consistent with climate-related
changes in breeding resources. Although often attributed to phenotypic plasticity, there is no …
