[HTML][HTML] The effects of weather on avian growth and implications for adaptation to climate change
Climate change is forecasted to generate a range of evolutionary changes and plastic
responses. One important aspect of avian responses to climate change is how weather …

Rainy springs linked to poor nestling growth in a declining avian aerial insectivore (Tachycineta bicolor)
As species shift their ranges and phenology to cope with climate change, many are left
without a ready supply of their preferred food source during critical life stages. Food …

Effects of severe weather on reproduction for sympatric songbirds in an alpine environment: Interactions of climate extremes influence nesting success
We examined the impact of daily and severe multiday weather events on nest survival of

Interacting effects of cold snaps, rain, and agriculture on the fledging success of a declining aerial insectivore
Climate change predicts the increased frequency, duration, and intensity of inclement
weather periods such as unseasonably low temperatures (ie, cold snaps) and prolonged …

Multiple extreme climatic events strengthen selection for earlier breeding in a wild passerine
Global climate warming results in an increase in mean temperatures and in the frequency of
extreme climatic events (ECEs), which could both strongly impact ecosystems and …
