Despite progress in recent decades, the conservation management of insects and allied
invertebrates in Australia is challenging and remains a formidable task against a …

Most ecological studies of the effects of climate on species are based on average conditions
above ground level (measured by meteorological stations) averaged across 100 km 2 or …

Microclimatic variables are necessary for a wide range of pure and applied problems in
environmental science. In ecology, microclimatic conditions are prerequisites for modelling …

Aim To assess the usefulness of combining climate predictors with additional types of
environmental predictors in species distribution models for range‐restricted species, using …

Palaeoclimatic reconstructions from biological proxies, remains of organisms, suffer from
sources of uncertainty that frequently are unacknowledged or even unrecognised. Primary …

Predicting biodiversity responses to climate change remains a difficult challenge, especially
in climatically complex regions where precipitation is a limiting factor. Though statistical …

Species distribution models (SDMs) largely rely on free-air temperatures at coarse spatial
resolutions to predict habitat suitability, potentially overlooking important microhabitat …

Aim To determine how changing the resolution of modelled climate surfaces can affect
estimates of the amount of thermally suitable habitat available to species under different …

Aim We analyse how and why 'topoclimate'mapping methodologies improve on
macroclimatic variables in modelling the distribution of biodiversity. Further, we consider the …

High-severity wildfire in arid regions has caused ecological state change, transforming
previously forested areas into shrublands. This dramatically alters the microclimatic …
