Adapting to climate change: a perspective from evolutionary physiology (2010, background): “However, only a few studies have so far demonstrated a genetic basis to these responses (Nussey et al. 2005, Umina et al. 2005, Bradshaw & Holzapfel 2008), and it is not yet clear to what extent phenotypic changes reflect plasticity or evolutionary change (Gienapp et al. 2007, 2008).”
Climate Change and Phenological Mismatch in Trophic Interactions Among Plants, Insects, and Vertebrates (2018, background): “Plasticity, variation, and heritability of phenological traits have come into focus recently (Gienapp et al. 2007; Singer & Parmesan 2010; Phillimore et al. 2012, 2016; Franks et al. 2017), but much remains to be learned (Section 4).”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity and resilience of vertebrates to increasing climatic unpredictability. (2010, background): “…adaptation (e.g. this Climate Special), few field stud- ies have demonstrated microevolutionary responses to climate change, probably because response to selection is too slow relative to the speed of climate change and is constrained by genetic correlations (Gienapp et al. 2007, Visser 2008).”
Variable shifts in spring and autumn migration phenology in North American songbirds associated with climate change (2009, background): “Especially in Europe, sharp advances in spring migration are widely reported (Lehikoinen et al., 2004; Gienapp et al., 2007; Sparks et al., 2007).”
Temperature and rainfall anomalies in Africa predict timing of spring migration in trans-Saharan migratory birds (2007, background): “…led to the hypothesis that climatic changes are directly driving the observed trends in phenological events (Both & Visser 2001, Parmesan & Yohe 2003, Root et al. 2003, Ahola et al. 2004, Jonzén et al. 2006a, Schwartz et al. 2006, Gienapp et al. 2007, this issue, Gordo 2007, Rubolini et al. 2007a).”
Phenotypic changes in spring arrival: evolution, phenotypic plasticity, effects of weather and condition (2007, background): “…changing in response to changes in climate (see reviews by Berthold 1998, Fiedler 2003, Fiedler et al. 2004, Lehikoinen et al. 2004), there are only few studies that were able to demonstrate evolutionary change in avian migratory behaviour (Pulido & Berthold 2004, Pulido 2006, Gienapp et al. 2007).”
Intraspecific consistency and geographic variability in temporal trends of spring migration phenology among European bird species (2007, background): “…2007 Changes in phenology could either be due to evolutionary changes, gene flow, or phenotypically plastic responses, although there are very few studies that have attempted to discriminate among these possibilities (Møller & Merilä 2004, Gienapp et al. 2007, this issue, Pulido 2007, this issue).”
Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “In most cases, a negative relationship has been found between arrival dates and spring temperatures (Lehikoinen et al. 2004, Root et al. 2005, Gienapp et al. 2007, this issue), i.e. birds arrive earlier when spring temperatures are higher.”
Prescriptive Evolution to Conserve and Manage Biodiversity (2014, background): “Faced with an environmental shift away from favorable conditions, species have three options for avoiding extinction: (a) respond plastically, (b) evolve adaptively in place (Gienapp et al. 2007, Williams et al. 2008) and (c) move to more favorable habitats.”
