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 …
