Abstract
This chapter discusses the concept of the phenological niche. This exposition distinguishes between describing the manner in which organisms use time in the expression of life history traits, in terms of absolutely early or late life history strategies, and the manner in which organisms use time in the expression of life history traits relative to their timing of expression by other organisms. Consequently, this distinction fosters an understanding of how the timing of expression of life history traits and the duration of life history stages bounded by them result in strategies for the use of absolute time and relative ecological time. The chapter then examines absolute phenological niche and relative phenological niche.
