Sentences with phrase «nesting phenology»

Not exact matches

«Furnas and McGrann provide a textbook example of how to detect differences in the timing of nesting among bird species using information on the peak date of singing derived from surveys and automated recorders,» according to UC Berkeley's Steve Beissinger, an expert on avian phenology who was not involved in the study.

In a warming climate, the timing of activity (i.e., phenology) of plants and pollinators is expected to shift, but these shifts may not be synchronized with one another (Burkle and Alarcon 2011; Burkle et al. 2013; Rafferty et al. 2013).

Same as with phenology — we can't say what an individual tree or flower or bird is going to do different as climate changes.

«For long - distance migrants climate change may advance the phenology of their breeding areas, but the timing of some species» spring migration relies on endogenous rhythms that are not affected by climate change.

«At some point, some species likely won't be able to keep up with earlier phenology that warming temperatures have dictated.»

Other circumstances that have high plausibility of accelerating extinctions include climatically induced loss of keystone species, collateral loss of species not necessarily affected by climate directly but dependent on species removed by climate change (for example, the myriad species dependent on coral - building species, see below), and phenology mismatches (disruption of the links between a species» yearly cycle and the seasons)(Dawson et al., 2011; NRC, 2011a).

Ice and phenology aren't so useful for detection in that sense because they are qualitative measures and it's hard to extract relative magnitudes or spatial patterns from them.
