Advances in flowering phenology across the Northern Hemisphere are explained by functional traits (2018, result): “Corresponding with the findings of previous studies reporting the most intense FFD-advances in early-flowering plants (Dunne et al., 2003; Menzel et al., 2006), which were found to be correlated with fast growth rates (Sun & Frelich, 2011), we also found earlyflowering grasses to show more intense…”
Beyond gradual warming: extreme weather events alter flower phenology of European grassland and heath species (2009, background): “Others found compression of flowering period for particular chamaephytic species (Llorens & Penuelas, 2005), or an extension of the flowering period for subalpine herbs and grasses (Dunne et al., 2003), where soil moisture was generally not significant for the duration of flowering.”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “Late-flowering species as well as phenophases later in the season were less responsive to snowmelt than early-flowering species or phenophases early in the season because these are controlled by temperature (Price and Waser, 1998; Dunne et al., 2003; Wipf, 2010).”
An examination of synchrony between insect emergence and flowering in Rocky Mountain meadows (2011, background): “Field studies that have examined the explanatory power of both snowmelt date and temperature in regulating flowering phenology have not reached consistent conclusions about which factor is of primary importance (Thórhallsdóttir 1998, Dunne et al. 2003, Hülber et al. 2010).”
Warming experiments underpredict plant phenological responses to climate change (2012, methodology): “We looked 27 at how sensitivities to temperature varied across space and time and we tested whether sensitivity in28 creases with latitude (5) or with the magnitude of temperature change (8), and whether species that 29 flower relatively early in the spring were more sensitive to temperature than la”
Impacts of multiple extreme winter warming events on sub‐Arctic heathland: phenology, reproduction, growth, and CO2 flux responses (2011, background): “The delays in phenology and reduced berry production seen in response to these multiple events are in sharp contrast to plant responses under lengthening of the growing season by warming in spring (Dunne et al., 2003; Aerts et al., 2004).”
Phenological responses of plants to climate change in an urban environment (2007, methodology): “Experiments using artificial heating treatment showed the significant effects of air warming on changes in phenology (Suzuki and Kudo 1997; Dunne et al. 2003).”
Variable flowering phenology and pollinator use in a community suggest future phenological mismatch (2014, background): “On the other hand, we documented a positive association between earliness of flowering and the duration of flowering (as reported by Dunne et al. (2003) for the same montane system studied by Iler et al. (2013), although Price and Waser (1998) and Forrest et al. (2010) found no such association for…”
Scale‐dependent climate signals drive breeding phenology of three seabird species (2004, background): “…have been found between phenology and both large-scale climatic signals, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) (Forchhammer et al., 2002; Hüppop & Hüppop, 2003), and local weather conditions, including spring temperature (Brown et al., 1999) and snowmelt date (Dunne et al., 2003).”
How well do first flowering dates measure plant responses to climate change? The effects of population size and sampling frequency (2008, background): “the same 2 × 2-m plots each year) and the rapid onset of the growing season after snowmelt in this sub-alpine environment (Inouye & McGuire 1991; Inouye et al. 2002; Dunne et al. 2003).”
The role of climate, habitat, and species co‐occurrence as drivers of change in small mammal distributions over the past century (2011, background): “…we know that winter temperatures and timing of spring snowmelt are important factors for the survival and reproduction of alpine plants (e.g., Dunne et al., 2003), nonhibernating boreal mammals (e.g., pika: Smith & Ivins, 1983; Morrison & Hik, 2007; snowshoe hares: Odonoghue & Krebs, 1992)…”
Advanced snowmelt causes shift towards positive neighbour interactions in a subarctic tundra community (2006, background): “The accumulated temperature (expressed as growing-degree days summed up from snowmelt to the date of a phenological trait) is often inversely related to the date of a phenological trait (Lindsey & Newman, 1956; Dunne et al., 2003).”
