Figure 1 Both (2026): (a) Correlation between the annual average hatching date and the date of the caterpillar peak (open dots are experimental years: 2015 (intermediate in caterpillar peak date of the three experimental years), 2021 (latest caterpillar peak date) and 2022 (earliest caterpillar peak date), (b) the interval between arrival and laying in response to the caterpillar peak, (c) the annual strength of selection on laying date, measured as the linear slope of standardized laying date on relative fitness (measured as the number of locally recruiting offspring per female) (open dots are experimental years: 2015, 2021 and 2022), (d) example of the correlation between individual interval between arrival and laying in response to variation in arrival date for two experimental years: blue triangles: 2021, a cold spring, and red dots: 2022, a relatively warm spring.

Logo for symposium A13 "Adaptice responses of endotherms to short-term weather events and rapid environmental changes" to be held at the SEB annual conference in Florence, Italy, 2026. The image shows vertical colour bars of which the top half represents the global annual temperature increase (from light blue to dark red) and the bottom half shows the biodiversity index decline (from dark green to gray). Superimposed are four animal silhouettes, from top-left to bottom-right: a bat, songbird, a deer, and a rodent.
