Summary: Climate change-induced phenological asynchrony can potentially affect solitary bee reproduction by reducing offspring weight and flower visitation rates. This may have negative consequences for solitary bee populations and plant biodiversity.

Summary: This article presents long-term observations of the first flowering date of plant species in the UK from 1753 to 2019. The study finds that the community-wide first flowering has advanced by almost one month since 1986. The timing of first flowering varies with location and elevation, and these changes can impact the functioning and productivity of ecosystems and agriculture.

Summary: The timing of growth and reproduction is crucial for plant fitness, with variations in flower-leaf sequences possibly impacting reproduction, recruitment, and survival. Shifts in FLS with climate change may have significant effects on species' performance and forest communities, with different responses to environmental cues driving FLS variation.

Summary: Many bird species are shifting their migration arrival dates in response to climate change, and this shift is influenced by both evolutionary adaptation and behavioral flexibility. Our study suggests that flight efficiency and migration distance are associated with the magnitude of these shifts.

Summary: Climate change has resulted in higher temperatures and reduced rainfall in southern Europe, impacting resource availability for herbivores and their population growth. This study found that decreased rainfall led to delayed rutting season and decreased rutting intensity, but increased polygyny and sexual selection opportunities in Iberian red deer. These effects were modulated by population density and sex ratio.

Summary: By studying high-temporal resolution time series of dissolved oxygen concentration and temperature in 14 mountain lakes, it was found that the duration of bottom hypoxia under ice varies greatly among lakes and years. The variability of hypoxia duration is primarily explained by changes in the decay rate of dissolved oxygen above the lake bottom, which is linked to physical controls such as deep-water warming. The study also showed that the summer light climate is a key driver of the dissolved oxygen decay rate and hypoxia duration under the ice.

Summary: Geographic distance plays a role in promoting phenotypic variation in plant morphology. The study examined how geographic location and abiotic factors influence flower morphology between populations, and identified some geographic patterns. The study also found that yearly variation in temperature and precipitation affects flower morphology within populations.

Summary: The sensitivity of spring phenology to temperature decreases with increasing warming extent, with some species at higher elevations showing delayed phenology when warming exceeds 4 degrees C. These findings provide experimental evidence that spring phenology may shift from being advanced to being delayed under future climate warming scenarios.

Summary: Geographic location and abiotic factors can affect flower morphology between populations, but some populations show no variation in flower morphology despite large geographic distances. Different species exhibit different patterns of flower morphology variation, and mean annual precipitation is the most important variable influencing flower morphology in a specific species. Additionally, pollinators might play a role in maintaining morphological homogeneity in populations despite geographic distance.

Summary: The study found that inflorescence preformation in overwintering buds is a common phenomenon in perennial plants, especially in certain genera or families. Compared to non-preformation species, preformation species flower on average 38 days earlier and are more commonly found in shaded, undisturbed habitats.

Summary: Floral scent variation within flowers is common but not ubiquitous, occurring in species from distantly related groups. This variation may serve as a pollinator attractant at short distances or a defensive function against antagonists. This complexity in floral chemical signals suggests the high level of sophistication in plant-pollinator interactions.

Summary: This study found that pollinators impose stronger selection pressure on traits related to plant defense than herbivores, but inflorescence density, a trait shared by both herbivores and pollinators, faced conflicting selection. Dynamic patterns of selection stemming from the interactions between herbivores and pollinators may be a common outcome in natural populations.
