Abstract The potential for climate change to disrupt phenology‐mediated interactions in interaction networks has attracted considerable attention recent decades. Frequently, studies emphasize the fragility of ephemeral seasonal interactions, and risks posed by phenological asynchrony. Here, we argue that fitness consequences asynchrony may often be more buffered than is typically acknowledged. We identify three main forms buffering take: (i) mechanisms reduce between consumer resource; (ii) costs being asynchronous; (iii) dampen interannual variance performance across higher organizational units. Using synchrony hatching winter moth caterpillars leafing their host‐plants as a case study, wide variety buffers detrimental on caterpillar individuals, populations, meta‐populations. follow this drawing examples breadth taxa, demonstrate these quite general. conclude identifying key gaps our knowledge demographic buffering, context mismatch. Buffering substantially alter understanding biotic impacts future change—a greater recognition contribution reveal many trophic are surprisingly resilient, also serve shift research emphasis those systems with fewer towards limits buffers.

Animal migration is a fascinating phenomenon that has puzzled mankind since the time of ancient Greece. It process widespread across varied range taxa and it shines especially in birds which, because their mobility, display an amazing diversity routes strategies. With advances tracking devices improvements sequencing technologies, recent work provides support for strong genetic influence several migratory traits different species. However, there little to no evidence any common sequence‐based mechanism behind this complex behaviour, nor unifying principle explaining it. We review how focus understanding basis should be shifted towards studying regulatory mechanisms gene expression instead traditional candidate approach. Importantly, role as underlying driver phenotype can resolve opposing often views mainly either under or environmental influence. emphasise research take new directions, reinforcing probably not regulated birds. Here, we notion 1) only evolve fast if quantitative trait with large standing variation; 2) main drivers evolution seem diverse expression–regulation rather than gene‐level polymorphisms; 3) non‐coding sequences genome, epigenetics structural variation might more important shaping previously thought. Further, present hypotheses outlining these bird species defining certain traits.

Abstract Flight behaviours have been extensively studied from different angles such as their kinematics, aerodynamics and more general migration pattern. Nevertheless, much is still unknown about the daily flight activity of birds, in terms performance, behaviour potential differences between males females. The recent development miniaturized accelerometers allows us a glimpse into life songbird. Here, we tagged 26 pied flycatchers ( Ficedula hypoleuca ) with analysed using machine learning approaches during chick rearing period. We found that two hours foraging chick-rearing were flying 13.7% time. Almost all flights (>99%) short lasting less than 10s. changed throughout day was highest morning lowest early afternoon. Male flycatcher had lower wing loading females, peak accelerations inversely correlated loading. Despite this, no significant performance sexes. This suggests possess higher which they not fully utilized flights. Our results thus suggest male female invest equally parental care, but this comes at reduced cost by male, due to potential.
