Climatic extremes improve predictions of spatial patterns of tree species.
Understanding niche evolution, dynamics, and the response of species to climate change requires knowledge of the determinants of the environmental niche and species range limits. Mean values of climatic variables are often used in such analyses. In contrast, the increasing frequency of climate extremes suggests the importance of understanding their additional influence on range limits. Here, we...
متن کاملQuality Time - Can Chaotic Methods Improve Software Quality Predictions?
P redictability is a measure of how accurately we can forecast a future event. 100% predictability is synonymous with omnipotence, 0% with having no clue whatsoever. Analog devices generally provide good levels of predictability. For example, manufacturers sell light bulbs with MTTF (mean time to failure) scores. A car traveling at 40 mph will still be traveling at a speed plus or minus some sm...
متن کاملPhenological sequences reveal aggregate life history response to climatic warming.
Climatic warming is associated with organisms breeding earlier in the season than is typical for their species. In some species, however, response to warming is more complex than a simple advance in the timing of all life history events preceding reproduction. Disparities in the extent to which different components of the reproductive phenology of organisms vary with climatic warming indicate t...
متن کاملBeyond seasonal climate: statistical estimation of phenological responses to weather.
Phenological events, such as the timing of flowering or insect emergence, are influenced by a complex combination of climatic and non-climatic factors. Although temperature is generally considered most important, other weather events such as frosts and precipitation events can also influence many species' phenology. Non-climatic variables such as photoperiod and site-specific habitat characteri...
متن کاملBuilding phenological models from presence/absence data for a butterfly fauna.
Species phenology is increasingly being used to explore the effects of climate change and other environmental stressors. Long-term monitoring data sets are essential for understanding both patterns manifest by individual species and more complex patterns evident at the community level. This study used records of 78 butterfly species observed on 626 days across 27 years at a site in northern Cal...
