Journal of Animal Ecology, 90(2), 432-446. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13376

As temperatures rise, timing of reproduction is changing at different rates across trophic levels, potentially resulting in asynchrony between consumers and their resources. The match-mismatch hypothesis (MMH) suggests that trophic asynchrony will ha...
