Improvements in reports of species redistribution under climate change are required

S Taheri, B Naimi, C Rahbek, MB Araújo - Science Advances, 2021 - science.org
Studies have documented climate change–induced shifts in species distributions but
uncertainties associated with data and methods are typically unexplored. We reviewed 240 …

Generalists yet different: Distributional responses to climate change may vary in opportunistic bat species sharing similar ecological traits

S Smeraldo, L Bosso, VB Salinas‐Ramos… - Mammal …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is among the key anthropogenic factors affecting species' distribution, with
important consequences for conservation. However, little is known concerning the …

Species better track climate warming in the oceans than on land

J Lenoir, R Bertrand, L Comte, L Bourgeaud… - Nature ecology & …, 2020 - nature.com
There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge
of the coupling between species range shifts and isotherm shifts remains limited. Here, we …

Exposure to climate change drives stability or collapse of desert mammal and bird communities

EA Riddell, KJ Iknayan, L Hargrove, S Tremor… - Science, 2021 - science.org
High exposure to warming from climate change is expected to threaten biodiversity by
pushing many species toward extinction. Such exposure is often assessed for all taxa at a …

Climate-related local extinctions are already widespread among plant and animal species

JJ Wiens - PLoS biology, 2016 - journals.plos.org
Current climate change may be a major threat to global biodiversity, but the extent of species
loss will depend on the details of how species respond to changing climates. For example, if …

Global correlates of range contractions and expansions in terrestrial mammals

M Pacifici, C Rondinini, JR Rhodes… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Understanding changes in species distributions is essential to disentangle the mechanisms
that drive their responses to anthropogenic habitat modification. Here we analyse the past …

Body size and activity times mediate mammalian responses to climate change

CM McCain, SRB King - Global change biology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Model predictions of extinction risks from anthropogenic climate change are dire,
but still overly simplistic. To reliably predict at‐risk species we need to know which species …
