In Canada, habitat loss has pushed many more species to the brink of extinction than
expected in a region with extensive wilderness. However, species richness gradients …

In a previous analysis, six major threats to at-risk species in Canada were quantified: habitat
loss, introduced species, over-exploitation, pollution, native species interactions, and natural …

As with a number of high-latitude countries, Canada is a home to many species that are
locally at risk but com-mon farther south. The round-leaved Greenbrier (Smi-lax rotundifolia) …

Context When climate changes, species' distributions may either shift spatially or
expand/contract around continuously-occupied refugia, altering the effectiveness of …

Many of the species at greatest risk of extinction from anthropogenic climate change are
narrow endemics that face insurmountable dispersal barriers. In this review, I argue that the …

Protected areas are key conservation tools for biodiversity management, but they are failing
to protect species from current climate change. Focusing on protected areas representing …

Global climate change is frequently considered a major conservation threat. The Earth's
climate has already warmed by 0.5° C over the past century, and recent studies show that it …

As climate conditions continue to shift, species assemblages and composition within
ecological communities may be reshuffled in unpredictable ways. Some habitat types may …

Climate change presents a substantial threat to species unable to keep pace via migration
or adaptation. In-situ climate refugia, areas currently occupied by a species and that remain …

Climate changes impose requirements for many species to shift their ranges to remain within
environmentally tolerable areas, but near‐continuous regions of intense human land use …
