Multispecies comparisons of adaptability to climate change: A role for life-history characteristics?

In fact, there was no significant difference in the difference between an individual's nest initiation date and date of 20% snow cover between repaired and divorced pairs in both Dunlin (repaired: 0.36 ± 1.62, divorced: 4.95 ± 2.43, F 1,31 = 2.10, p = .157, n = 33) and Semipalmated Sandpiper (repaired: −3.60 ± 1.40, divorced: −1.00 ± 1.51, F 1,9 = 1.55, p = .245, n = 11), although there was a slight trend to initiate nests earlier with regard to snowmelt when paired with their old mate. 4 DISCUSSION By the end of the century (i.e., 2100), climate change is predicted to advance the onset of summer by 8–11 days throughout the Arctic (Martin et al., 2009 ).
