Latitudinal Temperature Characteristics of Arrival, Nesting, and Departure of Passerine Birds (Passeriformes, Aves) in the North of Western Siberia
摘要
Abstract
Temperature indicators of the presence of passerine birds in the near-Ob forested tundra and tundra of Yamal Peninsula are considered, with special reference to latitudinal variability. When moving from the forested tundra to the Arctic tundra, a significant decrease in average arrival temperatures and a temperature decrease at the beginning of oviposition are observed, with no temperature effect revealed on the timing of departure. Climate warming in the north of Western Siberia causes a shift in the timing of the beginning of arrival and the beginning of reproduction to earlier dates and a shift in the boundaries of habitats.
