Habitat microclimates drive fine‐scale variation in extreme temperatures
Most multicellular terrestrial organisms experience climate at scales of millimetres to metres,
yet most species‐climate associations are analysed at resolutions of kilometres or more …

Partitioning and map** uncertainties in ensembles of forecasts of species turnover under climate change
Forecasts of species range shifts under climate change are fraught with uncertainties and
ensemble forecasting may provide a framework to deal with such uncertainties. Here, a …

Identifying refugia from climate change
MB Ashcroft - Journal of biogeography, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
This article highlights how the loose definition of the term 'refugia'has led to discrepancies in
methods used to assess the vulnerability of species to the current trend of rising global …

Accounting for uncertainty when map** species distributions: the need for maps of ignorance
Accurate map** of species distributions is a fundamental goal of modern biogeography,
both for basic and applied purposes. This is commonly done by plotting known species …

Comparing niche‐and process‐based models to reduce prediction uncertainty in species range shifts under climate change
Obtaining reliable predictions of species range shifts under climate change is a crucial
challenge for ecologists and stakeholders. At the continental scale, niche‐based models …

Abundance and the environmental niche: environmental suitability estimated from niche models predicts the upper limit of local abundance
Ecologists seek to understand patterns of distribution and abundance of species. Studies of
distribution often use occurrence data to build models of the environmental niche of a …
