<div>American kestrels, inhabiting a mosaic of habitats, nested
earlier in response to earlier prey availability in agriculture, but
not wildlands. Prey in agriculture were earlier because farmers
planted crops earlier following warmer winters. This suggests an
association between human adaptation to climate change and shifts in
breeding phenology of wildlife.</div>

that we now live in troubled times is trite. It has been made clear in
many quarters for almost a decade ... we
have become conscious of ... the energy
crisis, the full nature of which the American public is still only
dimly aware ... The individual scientist can survive for a
long time by lying low in the valley of specialized intellectual
interest ... We in science must get up and
face the wind, confront the future."</font></div>
