Tropical Africa is home to an astonishing biodiversity occurring in a variety of ecosystems.
Past climatic change and geological events have impacted the evolution and diversification …

Aim A major issue in ecology, biogeography, conservation biology and invasion biology is
the extent to which climate, and hence climate change, contributes to the positions of …

Current predictions of extinction risks from climate change vary widely depending on the
specific assumptions and geographic and taxonomic focus of each study. I synthesized …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

Aim Many attempts to predict the potential range of species rely on environmental niche (or
'bioclimate envelope') modelling, yet the effects of using different niche‐based …

Climate change is happening due to natural factors and human activities. It expressively
alters biodiversity, agricultural production, and food security. Mainly, narrowly adapted and …

Climate change presents unprecedented challenges for biological conservation. Agencies
are increasingly looking to modeled projections of species' distributions under future …

Background Understanding the patterns of biodiversity distribution and what influences them
is a fundamental pre-requisite for effective conservation and sustainable utilisation of …

Projections of ecosystem and biodiversity change for Africa under climate change diverge
widely. More than other continents, Africa has disturbance-driven ecosystems that diversified …

Preserving tropical biodiversity is an urgent challenge when faced with the growing needs of
countries. Despite their crucial importance for terrestrial ecosystems, most tropical plant …
