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". [3]
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 ...

Climate change is already impacting our seasons in New York and phenology, bolstered by citizen science, is documenting those impacts. Climate change is affecting seasonal indicators. How ...
Phenotypic plasticity refers to some of the changes in an organism's behavior, morphology and physiology in response to a unique environment. [1] [2] Fundamental to the way in which organisms cope with environmental variation, phenotypic plasticity encompasses all types of environmentally induced changes (e.g. morphological, physiological, behavioural, phenological) that may or may not be ...
In one example, a plant’s flowering phenology and its seed-dispersing ant mutualist’s phenology are both triggered by temperature cues. [27] Because the plant’s phenology is more prone to change under a new climate regime than the ant’s, the plant is decoupled from the selective pressure for flowering synchrony that the ant mutualism ...
"Children respond with increased negative emotion (especially sadness) and lower happiness, and these responses, in turn, increase children's risk for emotional and behavioral problems," says Dr ...
