Mechanistic forecasts of species responses to climate change: the promise of biophysical ecology
A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future
environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such predictions and …

Unpacking the mechanisms captured by a correlative species distribution model to improve predictions of climate refugia
Climate refugia are regions that animals can retreat to, persist in and potentially then expand
from under changing environmental conditions. Most forecasts of climate change refugia for …
