Abstract

Climate change is a defining element of the current ecological landscape, with consequences ranging from global to local environments. One of the first indices of the ecological impact of the ongoing environmental changes was measurement of their effects on phenology, the seasonal timing of Crested Butte, Colorado, 81224, USA. Email: inouye@umd.edu recurring annual events such as the beginning of the growing season, timing of flowering, and breeding seasons of animals. Research has moved beyond Funding information simple descriptions of these temporal changes to investigations of their root National Science Foundation, Grant/ Award Numbers: DEB-0922080, DEB-1354104, DEB-1912006 causes, impacts, and consequences at both ecological and evolutionary time scales. This changing landscape, environmental, ecological, and evolution- ary, makes this an exciting, albeit sometimes depressing, time to be a scientist. Edited by Brendon M.H.
