Mangrove forests have survived a number of catastrophic climate events since first
appearing along the shores of the Tethys Sea during the late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary. The …

Antarctic marine species have evolved in one of the coldest and most temperature-stable
marine environments on Earth. They have long been classified as being stenothermal, or …

Climate change could increase species' extinction risk as temperatures and precipitation
begin to exceed species' historically observed tolerances. Using long-term data for 66 …

The evolution of Earth's climate on geological timescales is largely driven by variations in
the magnitude of total solar irradiance (TSI) and changes in the greenhouse gas content of …

Anticipating the effect of climate change on biodiversity, in particular on changes in
community composition, is crucial for adaptive ecosystem management but remains a critical …

Warming trends and increasing temperature extremes have been observed across most of
the Asian region over the past century (high confidence).{24.3} Increasing numbers of warm …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools to explore the effects of future global
changes in biodiversity. Previous studies show that variability is introduced into projected …

A critical assumption underlying projections of biodiversity change associated with global
warming is that ecological communities comprise balanced mixes of warm-affinity and cool …

Equatorial populations of marine species are predicted to be most impacted by global
warming because they could be adapted to a narrow range of temperatures in their local …

Translating the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5° C above preindustrial level
into impact-related targets facilitates communication of the benefits of mitigating climate …
