Phenological shifts conserve thermal niches in North American birds and reshape expectations for climate-driven range shifts [Ecology]

Species respond to climate change in two dominant ways: range shifts in latitude or elevation and phenological shifts of life-history events. Range shifts are widely viewed as the principal mechanism for thermal niche tracking, and phenological shifts in birds and other consumers are widely understood as the principal mechanism for...
