Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.Extreme climatic events (ECEs) impact great tit nestlings in a developmental stage‐specific and context‐dependent manner. Using 60 years of data on 83,000+ great tit nestlings from Wytham Woods, UK, we show that cold snaps are detrimental to hatchlings, while older nestlings are more affected by extreme rain and heat.
