Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, background): “Brown and Brown (2000) hypothesised that this mortality in years with longer periods of cold weather in spring could mitigate the effects of selection in “normal” years in which birds arriving early in spring have the highest breeding success and produce the offspring with the highest survival.”
Exposure to high temperature influences the behaviour, physiology, and survival of sockeye salmon during spawning migration (2008, background): “Given the highly adaptive nature of migration timing, not only in salmon but in many other organisms (Brown and Brown 2000; Drent et al. 2003; Prop et al. 2003; Beˆty t al.”
The timing of birds' breeding seasons: a review of experiments that manipulated timing of breeding (2008, background): “Indeed, there is some evidence for fitness costs of early breeding ( Nilsson 1994; Brown & Brown 2000).”
Sociable schedules: interplay between avian seasonal and social behaviour (2006, background): “Mistimed migration imposes high survival and fitness costs, such as when birds encounter severe weather conditions (e.g. James 1956; Brown & Brown 2000) or find reduced food resources at staging sites (Moore et al. 1995; Baker et al. 2003).”
Individual variation in timing of migration: causes and reproductive consequences in greater snow geese (Anser caerulescens atlanticus) (2004, background): “…benefit of early arrival are: (1) harsh climatic conditions that could threaten adult survival and increase maintenance costs (Møller 1994; Brown and Brown 2000); (2) low food availability that could reduce energy reserves at the time of breeding (Prop and De Vries 1993); and (3)…”
Arrival timing and seasonal reproductive performance in a long-distance migratory landbird (2004, background): “Arrival and reproductive performance: costs and benefits Relatively little information exists on the costs and benefits of early arrival by migratory birds (Møller 1994a; Brown and Brown 2000).”
Protandry and sexual dimorphism in trans-Saharan migratory birds (2004, background): “Several theoretical and empirical studies have tackled the issue of optimal timing of migration and arrival at breeding sites of either sex in individual species, taking the benefits and costs of early arrival into account (Brown and Brown, 2000; Kokko, 1999; McNamara et al., 1998; Møller, 1994a; Mo”
Responses to climate change in avian migration time - microevolution versus phenotypic plasticity (2007, background): “On the one hand, arriving too early can be costly when environmental conditions are still too harsh or too unpredictable and can deteriorate severely, e.g. during a cold spell (Brown & Brown 2000).”
Climate change and unequal phenological changes across four trophic levels: constraints or adaptations? (2009, background): “For the flycatchers, an advance in arrival means that they encounter lower temperatures upon arrival in the breeding area, which can impose high mortality costs in insectivorous birds (Moller 1994; Brown & Brown 2000 ).”
Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “However, arrival date cannot be too early because of costs in terms of mortality due to the absence of suitable ecological conditions in the breeding grounds at the beginning of spring (e.g. low temperatures, food scarcity; Brown & Brown 2000, Jonzén et al. 2007a, Newton 2007).”
Phenotypic changes in spring arrival: evolution, phenotypic plasticity, effects of weather and condition (2007, background): “Early arrival bears the cost of increased mortality due to a high probability of encountering inclement weather conditions very early in the season (Brown & Brown 2000, Newton 2007).”
Extreme climatic events in relation to global change and their impact on life histories (2011, background): “Other examples of less extreme events that caused dramatic mortality are known (Jones, 1987; Møller, 1994; Brown and Brown, 1999; 2000; Møller and Szép, 2005).”
