Evolutionary and demographic consequences of phenological mismatches

ME Visser, P Gienapp - Nature ecology & evolution, 2019 - nature.com
Climate change has often led to unequal shifts in the seasonal timing (phenology) of

Disconnects between ecological theory and data in phenological mismatch research

HM Kharouba, EM Wolkovich - Nature Climate Change, 2020 - nature.com
Climate change may lead to phenological mismatches, where the timing of critical events
between interacting species becomes desynchronized, with potential negative …

Strengthening the evidence base for temperature-mediated phenological asynchrony and its impacts

JM Samplonius, A Atkinson, C Hassall… - Nature Ecology & …, 2021 - nature.com
Climate warming has caused the seasonal timing of many components of ecological food
chains to advance. In the context of trophic interactions, the match–mismatch hypothesis …

Bird populations most exposed to climate change are less sensitive to climatic variation

LD Bailey, M van de Pol, F Adriaensen, A Arct… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
The phenology of many species shows strong sensitivity to climate change; however, with

Phenological asynchrony: a ticking time‐bomb for seemingly stable populations?

EG Simmonds, EF Cole, BC Sheldon… - Ecology Letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change has been shown to induce shifts in the timing of life‐history events. As a
result, interactions between species can become disrupted, with potentially detrimental …
