Insect overwintering in a changing climate (2010, background): “There is evidence that some plant–pollinator interactions have remained cohesive (Hegland et al., 2009) whereas others have become temporally mismatched under recent climate change (Memmott et al., 2007).”
Impact of climate change on plant phenology in Mediterranean ecosystems (2010, background): “, 2005a), there will potentially be a further increase in mismatching between insects and plants (Hegland et al., 2009).”
Linking plant phenology to conservation biology (2016, background): “In this context, one potential threat from climate change is the temporal uncoupling of mutualistic species interactions (Hegland et al., 2009; Hoye et al., 2013; Memmott et al., 2007).”
Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “…Both et al., 2009; Thackeray et al., 2010), highlighting potential for climate-driven reshuffling of phenologies to alter network structure and dynamics dramatically (e.g. Hegland et al., 2009; Høye et al., 2007; Inouye, 2008; Inouye et al., 2003; Memmott et al., 2007; Tylianakis et al., 2008).”
Climate Change and Phenological Mismatch in Trophic Interactions Among Plants, Insects, and Vertebrates (2018, background): “An earlier review of plant–pollinator phenological mismatch (Hegland et al. 2009) already pointed this out, concluding that timing of flowering in both herbs and pollinator activity appear regulated by temperature and therefore may show collinear responses to climate warming.”
Variable flowering phenology and pollinator use in a community suggest future phenological mismatch (2014, background): “This potential has been explored with theoretical approaches (e.g. Memmott et al., 2007; Tylianakis et al., 2008; Hegland et al., 2009; Schweiger et al., 2010), and with experiments and meta-analyses (e.”
Community and ecosystem responses to recent climate change (2010, background): “Hegland et al. (2009) reviewed current phenological responses to rising temperatures and how these changes influence the interactions among plants and pollinators.”
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “A recent review concluded that some plant-pollinator systems may be robust against both temporal and spatial mismatches between pairs of species (Hegland et al. 2009); however, repeated losses of generalist species can ultimately cause coextinction cascades in the long term (Memmott et al. 2007).”
Flower colour and phylogeny along an altitudinal gradient in the Himalayas of Nepal (2014, background): “An important contemporary question is the extent to which future climate change may influence geographical distributions, local abundances, and phenology of plants and their pollinators, and whether such changes would disrupt their current interactions by creating spatial or temporal mismatches (Par”
Complex responses to climate drivers in onset of spring flowering across a semi‐arid elevation gradient (2010, background): “Small advances or delays in phenological events also have the potential to lead to the decoupling of synchronous events and changes in trophic interactions (Stenseth & Mysterud 2002; Hegland et al. 2009).”
