Mismatches between breeding phenology and resource abundance of resident alpine ptarmigan negatively affect chick survival

Abstract Phenological mismatches—defined here as the difference in reproductive timing of an individual relative to the availability of its food resources—occur in many avian species. Mistiming breeding activities in environments with constrained breeding windows may have severe fitness costs due to...
