2/8: We propose five criteria to demonstrate that temperature mediated phenological asynchrony is pervasive and a cause for conservation concern across terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems and trophic levels: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-020-01357-0/tables/1
3/8: The five criteria revolved around (1) resource ephemerality, (2) differential phenological change between resource and consumer, (3) temperature being causal to this phenological change, (4) negative fitness effects and (5) population consequences: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-020-01357-0/figures/1
4/8: We tested these five criteria for 129 consumer taxa identified across 109 studies, and found that all five criteria were only ever tested for two out of these 129 taxa, with the large majority of taxa only having been tested for one or two criteria: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-020-01357-0/figures/2
5/8: Research was biased toward terrestrial consumers (81.5%), and mostly conducted in Europe and North America (94%).
