“…via food) effects through which precipitation likely influences the timing of biological events. Across taxa and biological events, similarly complex precipitation effects have been suggested for, for example, plant phenology (Gordo & Sanz, ; Peñuelas et al, ), insect migration and abundance (Evans, Salvatore, Pol, & Musters, ; Zipkin, Ries, Reeves, Regetz, & Oberhauser, ), avian spring migration and reproduction (Englert Duursma, Gallagher, & Griffith, ; Gordo, ; Gordo, Brotons, Ferrer, & Comas, ; Haest et al, ) and mammal demography (Campos et al, ; Thibault, Ernest, White, Brown, & Goheen, ).…”
