[W23] Phenological sensitivity to temperature at broad scales: opportunities and challenges of natural history collections

Abstract
The seasonal timing of biological events (i.e. phenology) has been frequently observed to shift in response to recent climate change. While many of these events now occur earlier due to warmer temperatures, there is considerable variation in the direction and magnitude of these shifts across species. This variation could have co ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20587

[W23] The use of avian museum specimen data in phenology studies: prospects and challenges

Abstract
Museum specimens offer a rich source of data on both long-term averages and temporal trends in organismal phenology. To date much of this work has focused on plants, but animal specimens are also useful in this regard. In particular, bird specimens may include data on age, gonad size and development, and molt, all of which are r ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20324

[W23] Phenology atlas use cases: a new map of plant phenology across North America and beyond

Abstract
The goal of the phenology atlas workshop is to explore the development of a platform that would provide capabilities for analysing and visualising phenology data from multiple sources. The atlas would incorporate species-based, location-based and phenophase-based views. Here we provide an overview of potential phenology atlas us ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20582

[W23] The USA National Phenology Network: A Framework for Delivery of Phenology Data Products on Multiple Spatiotemporal Scales

Abstract
The USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN; www.usanpn.org) serves science and society by promoting a broad understanding of plant and animal phenology and the relationships among phenological patterns, climate, and environmental change. Data collected by citizen and professional scientists through Nature’s Notebook – a nationa ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20188

[W23] An Update on the Plant Phenology Ontology and Plant Phenology Data Integration

Abstract
The study of plant phenology is concerned with the timing of plant life-cycle events, such as leafing out, flowering, and fruiting. Today, thanks to data digitization and aggregation initiatives, phenology monitoring networks, and the efforts of citizen scientists, more phenologically relevant plant data is available than ever b ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20487

[W23] Documenting Reproductive Phenology using Herbarium Specimens: Experiences from the New England Vascular Plants Project

Abstract
Herbarium specimens and associated label data are valuable sources of phenological data. They can provide information about the phenological state of the specimen and information about how phenology varies in space and time. In an effort to leverage this tremendous phenological resource, the New England Vascular Plants project ( ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20430
