Phenological mismatches, when life‐events become mistimed with optimal environmental conditions, have become increasingly common under climate change. Population‐level susceptibility to mismatches depends on how phenology and phenotypic plasticity vary across a species’ distributional range. Here, we quantify the environmental drivers of colour moult phenology, phenotypic plasticity, and the extent of phenological mismatch in seasonal camouflage to assess vulnerability to mismatch in a common North American mammal.

当地的气候决定了雪兔的迷彩不匹配的脆弱性

当生活事件在最佳环境条件下发生时间错误时，物候失配在气候变化下变得越来越普遍。种群水平上对错配的敏感性取决于物种分布范围内的物候和表型可塑性如何变化。在这里，我们量化了颜色蜕变物候，表型可塑性和季节性伪装中物候不匹配程度的环境驱动因素，以评估常见北美哺乳动物不匹配的脆弱性。
