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 ...
Traditional Phenological Knowledge can be seen as a "subset of Indigenous Knowledge". [1] Traditional Phenological Knowledge (TPK) is the knowledge based on traditional observations made by Indigenous Peoples that predict seasonal changes of nature and their immediate environment.
Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) is the study of developmental programs and patterns from an evolutionary perspective. [1] It seeks to understand the various influences shaping the form and nature of life on the planet. Evo-devo arose as a separate branch of science rather recently. An early sign of this occurred in 1999. [2]
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 ...
Morren also coined the term phenology, [6] which refers to the scientific discipline that studies the seasonal cycles of animals and plants. Quetelet had established a network to observe plant flowering (referred to as anthochronology following Carl Joseph Kreutzer ) but Morren was critical of the methodology and critiqued the vagueness of the ...
The BBCH-scale is used to identify the phenological development stages of plants. [1] BBCH-scales have been developed for a range of crop species where similar growth stages of each plant are given the same code.
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 ...
