What is The Relative Influence of Cross‐seasonal and Local Weather Effects on the Breeding Success of a Migratory Songbird about?
## Abstract In seasonal environments, fluctuating early‐season weather conditions and short breeding windows limit reproductive opportunities such that breeding earlier or later than the optimum may be particularly costly. Given the risk of early‐season energy limitations, time‐ and energy‐based carry‐over effects stemming from environmental conditions across the annual cycle may have pronounced consequences for breeding phenology and fitness. Generally, when and where environmental conditions are most influential are poorly understood, limiting our ability to predict the future of climate‐sensitive populations. For an alpine‐breeding, migratory population of horned lark Eremophila alpestris in northern British Columbia, Canada (54.8°N), we assessed how weather conditions across the annual cycle influenced clutch initiation date and offspring development. We also addressed how cross‐seasonal effects on breeding parameters combine to influence reproductive fitness. With 12 years of breeding data and 3 years of migration data, we used a sliding window approach to identify points during the annual cycle when weather events most influenced breeding phenology and offspring development.
