• Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “For spring migration, Garrott et al. (1987) hypothesized that deer must improve their physiological condition prior to incurring the energetic costs associated with migration, which aligns with predictions based on the somatic control of avian migration (Mitrus 2007, Pulido 2007).”
• Intraspecific consistency and geographic variability in temporal trends of spring migration phenology among European bird species (2007, background): “Moreover, temporal trends based on MED estimates usually refer to pooled samples of individuals of both sexes, which may differ in their response to climate change (e.g. Møller 2004; but see Rainio et al. 2007, this issue).”
• Global decline in aggregated migrations of large terrestrial mammals (2009, background): “Concerns concentrate on migrants in higher latitudes where the pace and scale of habitat changes and the decoupling of climatic variables over disparate migratory ranges are highest, causing problems with mistimed migrations (Pulido 2007, Robinson et al. 2008).”
• Adaptive phenotypic plasticity and resilience of vertebrates to increasing climatic unpredictability. (2010, background): “With a directional change in climate, microevolution of the photoperiodic threshold could help organisms to keep track of changing seasonality (Pulido 2007).”
• Responses to climate change in avian migration time - microevolution versus phenotypic plasticity (2007, background): “…the study of quantitative genetics of migratory behaviour in the wild, and most evidence for the heritability of migratory behaviour is derived from laboratory experiments, which have demonstrated a genetic component in the timing of autumn migration (see Pulido 2007, this issue, for an overview).”
• Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “Accordingly, many animals have shifted to begin breeding earlier, often by arriving at breeding grounds earlier in the spring (e.g. Forister and Shapiro 2003; Berteaux et al. 2004; Both et al. 2004; Pulido 2007; Lyon et al. 2008).”
• Linking fluctuations in rainfall to nonbreeding season performance in a long-distance migratory bird, Setophaga ruticilla (2007, background): “The latter will be particularly important for understanding how phenotypic plasticity and microevolutionary change could interact to shape spring migration schedules under changing environmental conditions (Pulido 2007, this issue).”
