Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world
will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical …

Climate change impacts biodiversity and is driving range shifts of species and populations
across the globe. To understand the effects of climate warming on biota, long-term …

Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are essential tools for predicting climate change impact
on species' distributions and are commonly employed as an informative tool on which to …

Ecological niche modeling (ENM) is widely employed in ecology to predict species' potential
geographic distributions in relation to their environmental constraints and is rapidly …

Mountains create steep environmental gradients that are sensitive barometers of climate
change. We calibrated 10 statistical models to formulate ensemble ecological niche models …

Cities are human dominated ecosystems providing novel conditions for organisms.
Research on urban biodiversity is rapidly increasing, yet it is still hampered by the partial …

Climate change is expected to have significant and complex impacts on ecological
communities. In addition to direct effects of climate on species, there can also be indirect …

Archaeorhizomycetes, a widespread fungal class with a dominant presence in many soil
environments, contains cryptic filamentous species forming plant-root associations whose …

Mountains cover 12.3 percent of the terrestrial area outside Antarctica (Table 17.1; Körner et
