Recent shifts in phenology in response to climate change are well established but often
poorly understood. Many animals integrate climate change across a spatially and temporally …

Phenology refers to the periodic appearance of life-cycle events and currently receives
abundant attention as the effects of global change on phenology are so apparent …

Phenology affects nearly all aspects of ecology and evolution. Virtually all biological
phenomena—from individual physiology to interspecific relationships to global nutrient …

Physiological Adaptations for Breeding in Birds is the most current and comprehensive
account of research on avian reproduction. It develops two unique themes: the consideration …

Genomics promises exciting advances towards the important conservation goal of
maximizing evolutionary potential, notwithstanding associated challenges. Here, we explore …

Seasonal recurrence of biological processes (phenology) and its relationship to
environmental change is recognized as being of key scientific and public concern, but its …

The widespread use of artificial nestboxes has led to significant advances in our knowledge
of the ecology, behaviour and physiology of cavity nesting birds, especially small …

Widespread environmental changes including climate change, selective harvesting and
landscape alterations now greatly affect selection regimes for most organisms. How animals …

Virtually all species have developed cellular oscillations and mechanisms that synchronize
these cellular oscillations to environmental cycles. Such environmental cycles in biotic (eg …

Movement, dispersal, and migration on land, in the air, and in water, are pervading features
of animal life. They are performed by a huge variety of organisms, from the smallest …
