Plasticity in timing of avian breeding in response to spring temperature differs between early and late nesting species

Abstract Plasticity for breeding dates may influence population vulnerability to climate change via phenological mismatch between an organism’s life cycle requirements and resource availability in occupied environments. Some life history traits may constrain plasticity, however there have been remar...
