Beyond seasonal climate: statistical estimation of phenological responses to weather

Phenological events, such as the timing of flowering or insect emergence, are influenced by a complex combination of climatic and non‐climatic factors. Although temperature is generally considered most important, other weather events such as frosts and precipitation events can also influence many species' phenology. Non‐climatic variables such as photoperiod and site‐specific habitat characteristics can also have important effects on phenology....
