Population ecology of polar bears at Svalbard, Norway (2005, background): “However, as Forchhammer and Post (2004) noted, large-scale climatic indices only provide part of the information needed and understanding local weather conditions is essential.”
Wavelet analysis of ecological time series (2008, background): “In particular, a variety of ecosystems and populations are driven by large-scale climatic oscillations (Forchhammer and Post 2004; Klvana et al. 2004).”
Beyond long-term averages: making biological sense of a rapidly changing world (2014, background): “A key and often overlooked consideration is that organisms (including humans) are not directly affected by climate, per se, but rather more proximately are affected by weather, which ultimately is trained by climate (but see [18-20]).”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “Global climate change is expected to alter the phenological patterns of life-history events for numerous taxa, including seasonal migration by vertebrates (Walther et al. 2002, Forchhammer and Post 2004).”
Quantifying the sensitivity of Arctic marine mammals to climate-induced habitat change. (2008, background): “Changes can generally be divided into direct or indirect effects (Forchhammer and Post 2004).”
Phenology of High-Arctic Arthropods: Effects of Climate on Spatial, Seasonal, and Inter-Annual Variation (2008, background): “In addition to the direct eVect of climate on populations (Forchhammer and Post, 2004), climate change may also induce trophic mismatching (Stenseth and Mysterud, 2002).”
Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “…such as the NAO or ENSO, have received much attention due to their ability to assess general climatic conditions over large areas (Holmgren et al. 2001, Ottersen et al. 2001, Blenckner & Hillebrand 2002, Hallett et al. 2002, Stenseth et al. 2003, Forchhammer & Post 2004, Stenseth & Mysterud 2005).”
Travelling through a warming world: climate change and migratory species. (2009, background): “The relative importance of these effects in different parts of the Northern Hemisphere can be investigated by comparing the responses of Nearctic and Eurasian breeding species, because the temporal and spatial dynamics of the NAO differ regionally (Forchhammer & Post 2004).”
