- We are just starting to look at how these changes impact the living things around us. To be certain that changes are related to climate, scientists must have observations from across continents and over long periods of time. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ontdesign/692369952/
- In citizen science, people everywhere use basic, scientific protocols to report observations of natural events.Hundreds and thousands of participants, all across the landscape, can contribute millions of observations every year, allowing scientists to ask questions they were never before able to answer.
- Networks of observers across Europe show that blooming, leafing, and fruiting of plants is happening earlier and earlier. (Menzel et al 2006, could get more specific than this if needed… do they say anything about asynchronicity?)http://www.flickr.com/photos/cocreatr/2290237545/in/pool-whiteground
- Observations by Mrs. Anderson and others suggest that species in some places are changing their habits as the climate changes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/genista/6898950/
- There’s more.Observations by volunteers in the New York State Amphibian and Reptile Atlas Project show that four species of frogs are calling 10-13 days earlier now than in the beginning of the 1900s.(Gibbs and Breisch)http://www.flickr.com/photos/furryscalyman/433247980/in/set-72157594364089472/
- And the observations of participants in the Monarch Larvae Monitoring Project have helped researchers predict that the butterfly’s ideal breeding conditions will be found farther north in the future. (Batalden et al 2007)http://www.flickr.com/photos/anitagould/46701075/
