Understanding the drivers of phenological events is vital for forecasting species’ responses to climate change. We developed flexible Bayesian survival regression models to assess a 29‐year, individual‐level time series of flowering phenology from four taxa of Japanese cherry trees ( Prunus spachiana , Prunus × yedoensis , Prunus jamasakura , and Prunus lannesiana) , from the Tama Forest Cherry Preservation Garden in Hachioji,...

From 1991 to 1993, we captured cranes with the aid of hel...
