Climate change is a threat to biodiversity. One way that this threat manifests is through
pronounced shifts in the geographical range of species over time. To predict these shifts …

Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Poleward and upward shifts are the most frequent types of range shifts that have been
reported in response to contemporary climate change. However, the number of reports …

Climate change is leading to shifts in species geographical distributions, but populations are
also probably adapting to environmental change at different rates across their range. Owing …

Climate change is already exposing species to dangerous temperatures driving widespread
population and geographical contractions. However, little is known about how these risks of …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are numerical tools that combine observations of
species occurrence or abundance with environmental estimates. They are used to gain …

Estimating actual and potential areas of distribution of species via ecological niche modeling
has become a very active field of research, yet important conceptual issues in this field …

There is growing interest in quantifying genetic population structure across the geographical
ranges of species to understand why species might exhibit stable range limits and to assess …

Given the rate of projected environmental change for the 21st century, urgent adaptation and
mitigation measures are required to slow down the on-going erosion of biodiversity. Even …

Ecology Letters (2012) Abstract Although abiotic factors, together with dispersal and biotic
interactions, are often suggested to explain the distribution of species and their abundances …
