Abstract
Long-term (up to 125 years) series of dates of the beginning of seasonal activity for different representatives of animals have been analyzed. Correlations between seasonal phenomena in the conditions of the temperate continental climate of the eastern part of the Russian Plain have been established. A high correlation level has been determined for several events that are remote in time although synchronous. The establishment of correlation links and time intervals between signal and predicted phenological phenomena can be used in various fields of economic activity for the forecasts of periods of seasonal work.
