Aim Many conservation efforts now focus on mitigating biodiversity loss due to climate
change. While a focus on impacts from mean, long‐term changes in climate is warranted …

Shifts in species' distribution and abundance in response to climate change have been well
documented, but the underpinning processes are still poorly understood. We present the …

Climate change and land-cover change will have major impacts on biodiversity persistence
worldwide. These two stressors are likely to interact, but how climate change will mediate …

Extreme climatic events (ECE s) are predicted to become more frequent as the climate
changes. A rapidly increasing number of studies–though few on animals–suggest that the …

Understanding the processes that lead to species extinctions is vital for lessening pressures
on biodiversity. While species diversity, presence and abundance are most commonly used …

Sea-level rise will lead to widespread habitat loss if warming exceeds 2° C, threatening
coastal wildlife globally. Reductions in coastal habitat quality are also expected but their …

Tropical cyclones (also known as hurricanes and typhoons) are now believed to be an
important component of the Earth's climate system,,. In particular, by vigorously mixing the …

Nest building is a taxonomically widespread and diverse trait that allows animals to alter
local environments to create optimal conditions for offspring development. However, there is …

Wetland ecosystems are vital for maintaining global biodiversity, as they provide important
stopover sites for many species of migrating wetland‐associated birds. However, because …
