Phenology is the study of periodic events in biological life cycles and how these are influenced by seasonal and interannual variations in climate, as well as habitat factors (such as elevation). [ 1 ]
Life history theory (LHT) is an analytical framework [1] designed to study the diversity of life history strategies used by different organisms throughout the world, as well as the causes and results of the variation in their life cycles. [2]
Phenology observes the timing of seasonality of biological and weather events. [2] Plant cycles, animal behaviour, weather patterns and climate change cycle through seasonality [2] [1] i.e.Flowering. As Swartz defines; "Phenology is the study of recurring plant, fungi and animal life cycle stages, especially as they relate to climate and ...
Life histories of this species vary according to the phenology of their host plants. [21] These treehoppers lay their eggs on its host plant's branches, as well as spend their juvenile and adult life on one plant. [2] Egg hatching of these treehoppers are tied into the sap flow of their host plants.
Allochronic speciation (also known as allochronic isolation, or temporal isolation) is a form of speciation (specifically ecological speciation) arising from reproductive isolation that occurs due to a change in breeding time that reduces or eliminates gene flow between two populations of a species.
Because most observation networks were only established in the early 2000s, [4] [15] [16] they contain a wealth of plant phenological data for the 21st century, but do not offer insight into historical baselines.
Robert Marsham (27 January 1708–4 September 1797) was an English naturalist considered to be the founding father of phenology, the study of the effects of the seasons on plants and animals. Life [ edit ]
The match/mismatch hypothesis (MMH) was first described by David Cushing. [1] [2] The MMH "seeks to explain recruitment variation in a population by means of the relation between its phenology—the timing of seasonal activities such as flowering or breeding—and that of species at the immediate lower level".
