This paper briefly presents the aims, requirements and results of partial least squares regression analysis (PLSR), its potential utility in ecological studies. statistical technique is particularly well suited to analyzing a large array related predictor variables (i.e. not truly independent), with sample size enough compared number independent variables, cases which an attempt made approach complex phenomena or syndromes that must be defined as combination several obtained independently.

Abstract Plant phenology is strongly controlled by climate and has consequently become one of the most reliable bioindicators ongoing change. We used a dataset more than 200 000 records for six phenological events 29 perennial plant species monitored from 1943 to 2003 comprehensive assessment responses change in Mediterranean region. Temperature, precipitation North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) were studied together during complete annual cycle before determine their relative importance...
Recent shifts in phenology response to climate change are well established but often poorly understood. Many animals integrate across a spatially and temporally dispersed annual life cycle, effects modulated by ecological interactions, evolutionary endogenous control mechanisms. Here we assess discuss key statements emerging from the rapidly developing study of changing spring migratory birds. These well-studied organisms have been instrumental for understanding climate-change effects,...
Abstract Plants are altering their life cycles in response to current climatic change around the globe. More than 200 000 records for six phenological events (leaf unfolding, flowering, fruit ripening, harvesting, leaf falling and growing season) of 29 perennial species period 1943–2003 recorded throughout Spain provide longest temporal broadest spatial assessment plant phenology changes Mediterranean region. The overwhelming majority 118 studied phenophases shifted dates recent decades....
Abstract The life cycles of plants and animals are changing around the world in line with predictions originated from hypotheses concerning impact global warming climate change on biological systems. Commonly, search for ecological mechanisms behind observed changes bird phenology has focused analysis climatic patterns species breeding grounds. However, ecology migration suggests that spring arrival long‐distance migrants (such as trans‐Saharan birds) is more likely to be influenced by...
Biodiversity is threatened by the growth of urban areas. However, it still poorly understood how animals can cope with and adapt to these rapid dramatic transformations natural environments. The COVID-19 pandemic provides us a unique opportunity unveil mechanisms involved in this process. Lockdown measures imposed most countries are causing an unprecedented reduction human activities, giving experimental setting assess effects our lifestyle on biodiversity. We studied birds' response...
Abstract Many studies in recent years have demonstrated long‐term temporal trends biological parameters that can only be explained by climate change. Bird phenology has received great attention, as it one of the most conspicuous, popular, and easily observable phenomena nature. There are many changes spring arrival dates, which concur with earlier records from last few decades. However, data available for autumn departures or length stays. Furthermore, existing offer an equivocal picture. In...
Abstract 1. The first adult appearance of two insect species, the honey bee Apis mellifera (L.) and small white Pieris rapae (L.), was examined between 1952 2004 in Spain. 2. After factoring out variability resulting from broad geographical topographical range 798 sampling localities, multiple regression models were used to detect temporal trends phenology. 3. best repeated, including spring temperature as explanatory variable examine effects climate on 4. Both species showed similar trends,...

Symbionts are key elements of ecosystems, by playing important roles in shaping the biology and ecology their hosts. However, factors determining symbiont loads across host species still unclear. Nowadays, we know that intensity prevalence feather mites, most diverse group avian ectosymbionts, differ strongly between species. To understand those differences, studied 17 bird traits two mite community features (species richness composition species) potentially related to interspecific...
Summary The timing of bird migration has shifted in response to climate change. However, few studies have linked the potential consequences any phenological shift on individual fitness and even fewer disentangled role plasticity microevolution observed shifts. arrival date breeding success white storks ( C iconia ciconia ) been recorded since 1880s Slovakia. We used data for two periods (1895–1913 1977–2007), which were considered, respectively, as populations before after start warming....
Nest size and nest building behaviour affect individual fitness thus, selection may act on these traits. Most data nesting come from species that build a for each new breeding attempt, whereas almost nothing is known regarding reusers. Here, the association between behaviour, occupation date as well success of white stork Ciconia ciconia, migratory with reuse, presented. Large nests were occupied earlier showed higher success, even accounting confounding effect breeder's age. In addition,...

Abstract Aim Still poorly understood, the main migratory pathways for most trans‐Saharan species pass through Iberian Peninsula, which acts as a gateway to European–African system. Arrival patterns in this region common swift ( Apus apus ) and barn swallow Hirundo rustica ), of similar morphology flight capabilities, were described, environmental geographical factors best explaining them examined, search ecological constraints on these two species. Location Latitude ranged from 36.02...
Brood parasitized and/or colonial birds use egg features as visual identity signals, which allow parents to recognize their own eggs and avoid paying fitness costs of misdirecting care others' offspring. However, the mechanisms recognition discrimination are poorly understood. Most studies have put focus on individual abilities carry out these behavioural tasks, while less attention has been paid how its signals may evolve enhance identification. We used 92 clutches (460 eggs) Eurasian coot...
The spatial patterns of the variability appearance dates honey bee Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidea) and small white Pieris rapae (L.) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) were investigated in Spain. A database more than 7,000 records first spring sightings each species 700 localities from 1952-2004 was used. Phenological data related to spatial, topographical, climate, land use, vegetation productivity explanatory variables by means multiple regression models order search for environmental...
