Phenological shifts are occurring in many ecosystems around the world. The capacity of species to adapt to changing phenology will be critical to their success under climate change scenarios. Failure to adjust migratory and reproductive timing to keep pace with the earlier onset of spring has led to negative demographic effects for populations of species across a variety of taxa. For caribou, there have been concerns that earlier spring green-up on calving areas might not be matched by earlier migration and parturition, potentially leading to a trophic mismatch with nutritional consequences for parturient and lactating caribou cows. However, there is limited evidence supporting these concerns. Here, we investigate the response of barren-ground caribou to changing spring phenology using data from telemetry and satellite imagery. From 2004 to 2016, we found that the average start of green-up on the calving area advanced by 7.25 days, while the start of migration advanced by 13.64 days, the end of migration advanced by 6.02 days, and the date of peak calving advanced by 9.42 days. Despite the advancing onset of green-up, we found no evidence for the development of a trophic mismatch because the advancing green-up coincided with earlier migration and calving by caribou. Changing snow cover on the late winter and migratory ranges was the most supported driver of advancing migratory behavior. The ability of caribou to adjust the timing of migratory and reproductive behavior in response to changing environmental conditions demonstrates the potential resilience of the species to some aspects of climate change.

贫瘠的驯鹿对前进的春季物候的反应。

物候变化正在世界上许多生态系统中发生。在气候变化情景下,物种适应物候变化的能力对于其成功至关重要。未能调整迁徙和生殖时间以跟上春季的早发步伐,已导致各种分类单元物种种群的人口统计学负面影响。对于北美驯鹿,人们担心,犊牛产区早期的春季绿化可能不会与早期的迁徙和分娩相匹配,这可能导致营养失调,并给哺乳和哺乳的北美驯鹿带来营养后果。但是,支持这些担忧的证据有限。在这里,我们使用遥测和卫星图像数据调查了贫瘠的驯鹿对春季物候变化的响应。从2004年到2016年,我们发现,产犊区的平均绿化开始提前了7.25天,而迁徙开始的提前了13.64天,迁徙结束的提前了6.02天,高峰产犊的日期提前了9.42天。尽管开始出现绿化现象,但我们并未发现发生营养失配的证据,因为进行中的绿化现象与较早的迁徙和驯鹿产犊相吻合。冬末和迁徙范围的积雪变化是推动迁徙行为发展的最有力推动力。驯鹿根据不断变化的环境条件调整迁徙和生殖行为时间安排的能力证明了该物种对气候变化某些方面的潜在适应力。迁移开始时间延长了13.64天,迁移结束时间延长了6.02天,产犊高峰的日期延长了9.42天。尽管开始出现绿化现象,但我们没有发现发生营养失配的证据,因为进行中的绿化现象与较早的迁徙和驯鹿产犊相吻合。冬末和迁徙范围的积雪变化是推动迁徙行为发展的最有力推动力。驯鹿根据不断变化的环境条件调整迁徙和生殖行为时间安排的能力证明了该物种对气候变化某些方面的潜在适应力。迁移开始时间延长了13.64天,迁移结束时间延长了6.02天,产犊高峰的日期延长了9.42天。尽管开始出现绿化现象,但我们没有发现发生营养失配的证据,因为进行中的绿化现象与较早的迁徙和驯鹿产犊相吻合。冬末和迁徙范围的积雪变化是推动迁徙行为发展的最有力推动力。驯鹿根据不断变化的环境条件调整迁徙和生殖行为时间安排的能力证明了该物种对气候变化某些方面的潜在适应力。尽管开始出现绿化现象,但我们没有发现发生营养失配的证据,因为进行中的绿化现象与较早的迁徙和驯鹿产犊相吻合。冬末和迁徙范围的积雪变化是推动迁徙行为发展的最有力推动力。驯鹿根据不断变化的环境条件调整迁徙和生殖行为时间安排的能力证明了该物种对气候变化某些方面的潜在适应力。尽管开始出现绿化现象,但我们没有发现发生营养失配的证据,因为进行中的绿化现象与较早的迁徙和驯鹿产犊相吻合。冬末和迁徙范围的积雪变化是推动迁徙行为发展的最有力推动力。驯鹿根据不断变化的环境条件调整迁徙和生殖行为时间安排的能力证明了该物种对气候变化某些方面的潜在适应力。
