A central concept when studying the relationship between climate, phenology, and other life history traits is the match vs. mismatch of the climate–phenology response within different components of the ecological system. (A) The environmental cues triggering onset of egg laying change in asynchrony to the environmental conditions prevailing when chicks are reared and when birds' energetic demands are the highest, as shown for Great tit (18). (B) The differential climate change between summer and winter ranges may lead to problems in the transition for migratory birds, such as the American robin (21).
