The accuracy of predictive models (also known as mechanistic or causal models) of animal
responses to climate change depends on properly incorporating the principles of heat …

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

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

There has been a recent surge of interest in remote sensing and its use in ecology and
conservation but this is the first book to focus explicitly on the NDVI (Normalised Difference …

The cumulative effects of climate warming on herbivore vital rates and population dynamics
are hard to predict, given that the expected effects differ between seasons. In the Arctic …

This review focuses on the impacts of climate change on population dynamics. I introduce
the MUP (Measuring, Understanding, and Predicting) approach, which provides a general …

Climate change is expected to induce many ecological and evolutionary changes. Among
these is the hypothesis that climate warming will cause a reduction in body size. This …

Contemporary climate change is expected to affect the distributions of most species, but the
nature, tempo, and mechanics of contemporary range shifts are still largely speculative …

Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) populations are predicted to be negatively affected by climate
warming, but the timeframe and manner in which change to polar bear populations will …

Studies have reported important effects of recent climate change on Antarctic species, but
there has been to our knowledge no attempt to explicitly link those results to forecasted …
