Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity (2012, background): “In these cases, micro-evolution may be needed for them to persist (Visser 2008).”
Beyond corals and fish: the effects of climate change on noncoral benthic invertebrates of tropical reefs (2008, background): “Long-term monitoring should be done of the selected taxa to document changes in density, timing of spawning, and reproductive success, size, and community interactions, etc. (Stillman, 2003; Visser, 2008).”
Keeping up with early springs: rapid range expansion in an avian herbivore incurs a mismatch between reproductive timing and food supply (2009, background): “, 1997; McCleery & Perrins, 1998), and most likely result from phenotypic plasticity, but do not necessarily mean that birds are perfectly adapting to the warming climate (Visser, 2008).”
Differential plasticity of metabolic rate phenotypes in a tropical fish facing environmental change (2016, background): “The responses of animals to environmental change have been the focus of much ecological, behavioural and physi- ological research, not least because of the documented impacts of human-induced climate change on animal com- munities (e.g. Walther et al. 2002; Bradshaw & Holzapfel 2006).”
Phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary demographic responses to climate change: taking theory out to the field (2013, methodology): “…issues raised by case studies In this final section, we use two emblematic case studies of physiological responses to climate change (for recent reviews on phenology, see Bradshaw & Holzapfel 2008; Visser 2008; Chuine 2010) to highlight conceptual issues that deserve further theoretical attention.”
The phenology of plant invasions: a community ecology perspective (2011, positive): “However, climate change will shift only temperatures, thus decoupling environmental variables such as day length from climate and possibly adversely affecting species with cues based on static variables (Visser 2008).”
Advancing breeding phenology in response to environmental change in a wild red deer population (2011, background): “Understanding the ecological and evolutionary consequences of phenological responses to climate change hinges on the availability of longitudinal data and the ability to examine the consequences of phenological changes for reproductive fitness and demographic rates at the individual level (Visser & ”
Elevated temperature reduces the respiratory scope of coral reef fishes (2009, background): “Two mechanisms could work against fundamental changes to fish populations and communities in response to rising sea temperature: (1) phenotypic temperature acclimation and (2) genotypic temperature adaptation through natural selection (Hawkins, 1996; Skelly et al., 2007; Visser, 2008).”
Applications and limitations of museum data for conservation and ecology, with particular attention to species distribution models (2010, background): “…et al., 2009); third, the climate may not change as predicted (Reilly et al., 2001); and, fourth, species may adapt to the new climate rather than undergoing shifts in their distribution (Davis and Shaw, 2001; Skelly et al., 2007; Charmantier et al., 2008; but see Davis et al., 2005; Visser, 2008).”
Predicting phenology by integrating ecology, evolution and climate science (2011, background): “Species that track climate variables closely should be most able to adjust their phenologies with climate change and face minimal population changes (Visser, 2008).”
Transgenerational plasticity in marine sticklebacks: maternal effects mediate impacts of a warming ocean (2014, background): “…of life, transgenerational (maternal) effects may have buffered some of the changes in heritabilities across environments, while at 60 days, overriding effects of the stressful environment led to a clear breakdown in genetic architecture (Via & Lande 1985; Hoffmann & Meril€ a 1999; Visser 2008).”
