2 FIGURE 4.1 Accelerating Ice Break up and Delayed Ice Formation. Ice break up and formation is shown for major rivers and lakes of North America. Ice break up is occurring significantly earlier, whereas ice formation is significantly delayed. From Condit, R. 1998. With kind permission from Springer Science Business Media.

3 FIGURE 4.2 Phenology of Flowers, Seeds, and Fruits in a Tropical Forest Tree. The production of fl owers, seeds, and fruits in a single tropical tree from a 7-year record. Time is indicated in months from January 1987. Flowering, fruiting, and seed production are all cued to the end of the dry season, peaking in September in most years. Note the unusually high production in September 1992, followed by failure of fruit and seed production the following year (approximately month 80 — September 1993). From Condit, R., 1998. With kind permission from Springer Science Business Media.

4 FIGURE 4.3 Modeled bark beetle emergence. Pine bark beetles emerge in synchrony in defined temperature bands. This model output shows the simulated emergence synchrony associated with a 2- or 3-degree increase in temperature — a threshold that was crossed in much of western North America between 1998 and 2006. Reproduced with permission from the Ecological Society of America.

7 FIGURE 4.6 Tracking Penguins from Space. Changes in ice cover and temperature are affecting phenology of penguin food sources and the location and size of penguin colonies. Scientists are tracking changes in penguin colony locations from space using the guano marks they leave on the ice. In this photo, a colony and its guano mark show up distinctly against the white background of snow and ice. Courtesy of the British Antarctic Survey.

9 Un-Figure 4.2 Continuous Plankton Recorder and Results. From Hays, G.C., et al., 2005. Climate change and marine plankton. Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 20, 337 – 344.
