Observed and predicted effects of climate change on Arctic caribou and reindeer (2018, background): “Additionally, all Rangifer populations may not 649 respond positively to the advancement of spring (Post and Forchhammer 2008; Kerby 650 and Post 2013).”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “Timing of migration and parturition by caribou in West Greenland, however, has failed to keep pace with the advancement of the plant-growing season; consequently, recruitment of young has declined fourfold during a single decade (Post and Forchhammer 2008).”
Climate Change, Global Food Security, and the U.S. Food System (2015, background): “In Greenland, for example, earlier spring warming has led to a mismatch between forage availability and caribou herds’ arrival on their calving range, leading to higher offspring mortality (Post and Forchhammer 2008).”
Predicting species distribution and abundance responses to climate change: why it is essential to include biotic interactions across trophic levels (2010, background): “Currently, in temperate and arctic regions, the progressive warming causes the life cycles of consumers and resources to drift apart in directions that lead to more frequent mismatches in life histories (Post & Forchhammer 2008).”
Chronic environmental change: Emerging ‘psychoterratic’ syndromes (2011, background): “Due to trophic mismatches ( Post & Forchhammer, 2008 ), predator‐prey relationships will no longer remain in balance and herbivores will be unable to time their migration with the availability of grasses that flourish either too soon or too late within migration routes to support their needs and tho”
Phenological advancement in arctic bird species: relative importance of snow melt and ecological factors (2014, background): “trophic mismatch is affecting arctic and subarctic breeding species (Post and Forschhammer 2008; Gaston et al. 2009).”
Impacts of climate change on the seasonal distribution of migratory caribou (2009, background): “The mismatch in the availability of resources has resulted in an increase in offspring mortality and a decrease in offspring production in response to a 4 1C temperature rise for a migratory caribou herd in West Greenland (Post & Forchhammer, 2008).”
Emergence of a mid‐season period of low floral resources in a montane meadow ecosystem associated with climate change (2011, background): “Climate is a powerful driver of phenology (Gordo & Sanz 2010) and the effects of climate change on phenology have become a major focus of research (Sherry et al. 2007; Post & Forchhammer 2008; Both et al. 2009; Saino et al. 2009).”
