green-up (termed 'green-wave surfing') is key to the foraging strategy of migratory ungulates …

Billions of animals migrate to track seasonal pulses in resources. Optimally timing migration
is a key strategy, yet the ability of animals to compensate for phenological mismatches en …

For many species, behavioral modification is an effective strategy to mitigate negative effects

Warming temperatures and advancing spring are affecting annual snow and ice cycles, as
well as plant phenology, across the Arctic and boreal regions. These changes may be linked …

Food quality and availability, when combined with energetic demands in seasonal
environments, shape resource acquisition and allocation by animals and hold …

Organisms have been shifting their timing of life history events (phenology) in response to
changes in the emergence of resources induced by climate change. Yet understanding …

Migratory, long‐lived animals are an important focus for life‐history theory because they
manifest extreme trade‐offs in life‐history traits: delayed maturity, low fecundity, variable …

For species that inhabit environments where resource availability may be unpredictable,
balance of resource allocation to life‐history traits can have heightened consequences for …
