Feb 5, 2018 · Here, we synthesize hundreds of published time series of animal phenology from across the planet to show that temperature primarily drives phenological responses at mid-latitudes, with ...

Dec 1, 2018 · Two recent global syntheses on phenological shifts in plants (reviewed in [4]) and animals (meta-analysis in [5]) confirmed that climate variables, namely temperature and precipitation, which determine the seasonality in a given region, are central to driving phenological shifts in species.

Dec 9, 2024 · Our analysis reveals an increasing phenological asynchronization between plants and animals from 1981 to 2020, with a stronger overall advancement of late-season phenophases for plants than for...

Phenology, the study of seasonal rhythms of plant and animal life cycle events, is a fascinating subfield of both biology and ecology that bridges across disciplinary axes from environmental biology to physiological ecology to biometeorology, and from natural history to climatology to biosphere-atmosphere interactions (Richardson et al., 2013a).

Phenology is a key aspect of plant and animal life strategies that determines the ability to capture seasonally variable resources. It defines the season and duration of growth and reproduction and paces ecological interactions and ecosystem functions.

Dec 20, 2024 · A collaborative study reveals the distinct mechanisms by which plants and animals respond to climate change in their life-cycle phenology.

Phenology is the study of periodic events in biological life cycles and how these are influenced by seasonal and interannual variations in climate, as well as habitat factors (such as elevation). [1]

Dec 31, 2016 · Phenology, or the timing of the annual cycles of plants and animals, is extremely sensitive to changes in climate. We know that plants and animals may adjust the timing of certain phenological events, such as tree flowering or migration, based on changes in weather.

Climate change has led to shifts in phenology in many species distributed widely across taxonomic groups. It is, however, unclear how we should interpret these shifts without some sort of a yardsti...

Feb 21, 2025 · Phenology—the timing of recurring seasonal activities of animals and plants—is maybe the most amenable process for tracking species and ecosystem response to climate change 12, 13 as phenology...
