• Bird migration times, climate change, and changing population sizes (2008, background): “For example, the largest study on changes in migration times in North America (Butler, 2003) found that changes in migration times ranged from species that arrived 17 days earlier each decade (field sparrows, Spizella pusilla) to those that arrived 3 days later each decade (palm warblers, Dendroica ”
• The influence of temperature on migration of Lepidoptera into Britain (2005, background): “Blackcap in the UK (Langslow, 2002), Mallard in Lithuania (%alakevičius, 2001) and Eastern Bluebird in New York State (Butler, 2003)) and clear evidence for this in the Lepidoptera.”
• Climatic responses in spring migration of boreal and arctic birds in relation to wintering area and taxonomy (2006, unknown): “JOURNAL OF AVIAN BIOLOGY 37:5 (2006) 507 century (Butler 2003).”
• Climate change leads to decreasing bird migration distances (2009, background): “The advances in spring arrival (Butler, 2003; Hüppop & Hüppop, 2003; Lehikoinen et al., 2004) and delays of autumn migration (Hötker, 2002; Jenni & Kéry, 2003) observed in short-distance migrants may partly be a direct consequence of a change in wintering area: birds can leave their breeding…”
• Climate change and bird phenology: a long‐term study in the Iberian Peninsula (2006, background): “However, a few studies (Mason, 1995; Loxton & Sparks, 1999; Sparks & Braslavská, 2001; Butler, 2003; Cotton, 2003) report the contrary for some species, suggesting that changes in migration phenology may show a strong geographical and species specific component (Ahas, 1999; Inouye et al.”
• Climate change and its impact on Australia's avifauna (2005, background): “Advances in the arrival and departure dates of Northern Hemisphere migratory birds have been documented (e.g. Ahas 1999; Sparks and Menzel 2002; Butler 2003; Climate change and Australia’s avifauna L. E. Chambers et al.4 Emu Cotton 2003; Hubalek 2003; Huppop and Huppop 2003; Ptaszyk et al. 2003)…”
• EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE AUDITORY DETECTION PROCESS ON AVIAN POINT COUNTS (2007, background): “There is increasing evidence that birds are breeding earlier now than in the past, presumably due to global warming (Butler 2003).”
• Uncovering, Collecting, and Analyzing Records to Investigate the Ecological Impacts of Climate Change: A Template from Thoreau's Concord (2012, background): “…from that in many European and East Asian countries, where phenological observations are made over large areas using standard procedures either by government agencies or under their supervision, with most records being held by one central authority (Chen 2003, Menzel 2003, Ibáñez et al. 2010).”
• Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “Arrival and departure dates of bird species in breeding grounds are often well recorded due to their visible nature and public appeal, and such dates have advanced for many short and medium distance migrants (Butler, 2003; Lehikoinen et al., 2004; Mills, 2005).”
• What affects the magnitude of change in first arrival dates of migrant birds? (2005, background): “Because more detailed data are much rarer, the first arrival dates (hereafter FAD) are a commonly used measure in avian phenological studies (e.g. Mason 1995; Butler 2003; Sparks et al. 2003) and have been traditionally used as an indication of the migration timing of birds.”
• Shifts in phenology due to global climate change: the need for a yardstick (2005, background): “2004) has also advanced for many, especially short- and medium-distance, migratory bird species (Butler 2003; Lehikoinen et al. 2004; Mills 2005).”
• A matter of timing: changes in the first date of arrival and last date of departure of Australian migratory birds (2006, background): “By contrast, seed-eating grassland bird species in north-east America have shown stronger advances in arrival date than species belonging to other foraging guilds, including insectivores (Butler, 2003).”
• Functional and Phylogenetic Approaches to Forecasting Species' Responses to Climate Change (2012, unknown): “…o Gienapp et al. 2007 Birds 184 Europe 1960–2006 5 – 0.18 Rubolini et al. 2007 Birds 117 Eastern Hungary 1969–2007 1 o + – o + 0.11b Vegvari et al. 2010 Birds 103 Eastern United States 1903–1993 – × NA Butler 2003 Birds 100 Europe 1970–2000 1 NA Davis et al. 2010 Birds 56 Northern Germany…”
• How well do first flowering dates measure plant responses to climate change? The effects of population size and sampling frequency (2008, background): “2008), which often rely on records of first arrivals rather than mean arrivals or other measures of migration time (e.g. Bradley et al . 1999; Butler 2003; Sparks & Tryjanowski 2007), but to our knowledge, they have not been previously considered in the studies of plant phenology other than in the w”
• Breeding upwards when climate is becoming warmer: no bird response in the French Alps (2003, background): “An advance in laying date has been reported in 51 of 65 British birds from 1971 to 1995 (Crick et al. 1997), as well as an earlier arrival for several migratory birds in Europe and North America over recent decades (Sparks et al. 1999, Tryjanowski et al. 2002, Butler 2003).”
• Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “In other studies, temporal trends of climatic variables were assessed, but there were no explicit relationships between phenological variables and climatic ones (Jenkins & Watson 2000, Butler 2003, Gordo & Sanz 2005, Beaumont et al. 2006).”
