As global climate change progresses, the occurrence of potentially disruptiveclimatic events such as storms are increasing in frequency, duration and inten-sity resulting in higher mortality and reduced reproductive success. Whatconstitutes an extreme climatic event? First we point out that extreme climaticevents in biological contexts can occur in any environment. Focusing on fieldand laboratory data on wild birds we propose a mechanistic approach to defin-ing and investigating what extreme climatic events are and how animals copewith them at physiological and behavioural levels. The life cycle of birds ismade up of life-history stages such as migration, breeding and moult thatevolved to match a range of environmental conditions an individ...
