## Abstract In the last decade it has become clear that the timing of many phenological processes, like the start of flowering and leaf unfolding in spring, have changed. The increase in temperature is believed to be the main cause. The earlier start of flowering will have consequences for the star
A recent hypothesis suggests that resting metabolic rate, measured as energy expended per unit body mass per unit time, might be implicated in the rate of nucleotide substitution in animals. Using relative rate tests on DNA-DNA hybridization data from birds, we show that generation time is significa
