Abstract Changes in the life cycle of organisms (ie phenology) are one of the most widely
used early-warning indicators of climate change, yet this remains poorly understood …

Earth's most speciose biomes are in the tropics, yet tropical plant phenology remains poorly
understood. Tropical phenological data are comparatively scarce and viewed through the …

Phenology is the study of recurring biological events and its relationship to climate. Circular
statistics is an area of statistics not very much used by ecologists nor by other researchers …

Abstract In the Northern Hemisphere, springtime events are frequently reported as
advancing more rapidly at higher latitudes, presumably due to an acceleration of warming …

Although many taxa show a latitudinal gradient in richness, the relationship between latitude
and species richness is often asymmetrical between the northern and southern …

Forest vertebrate fauna provide critical services, such as pollination and seed dispersal,
which underpin functional and resilient ecosystems. In turn, many of these fauna are …

Drosophilid fruit flies have provided science with striking cases of behavioral adaptation and
genetic innovation. A recent example is the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii, which, unlike …

Abstract Parrots (Order Psittaciformes) are secondary cavity-nesters that depend on existing
cavities for nest sites, and consume plant resources of fruits, seeds, and flowers that are …

We retrace the development of tropical phenology research, compare temperate phenology
study to that in the tropics and highlight the advances currently being made in this flourishing …

There is growing evidence that global climate change is significantly altering forest
ecosystems, and will continue to do so in the future. Changes in mean climate and climate …
