Integrating reproductive phenology in ecological niche models changed the predicted future ranges of a marine invader
Abstract Aim Phenology of a wide diversity of organisms has a dependency on climate, usually with reproductive periods beginning earlier in the year and lasting longer at lower latitudes. Temperature and day length are known environmental drivers of the reproductive timing of many species. Hence, re...
