There is an urgent need to understand species and community responses to climatic and
ecological changes to predict biodiversity patterns given anticipated global change. The …

The aim of the ecospat package is to make available novel tools and methods to support
spatial analyses and modeling of species niches and distributions in a coherent workflow …

Understanding how biological and environmental factors interactively shape the global
distribution of plant and animal genetic diversity is fundamental to biodiversity conservation …

High-resolution, downscaled climate model data are used in a wide variety of applications
across environmental sciences. Here we introduce a new, high-resolution dataset, CHELSA …

Climate change causes far‐reaching disruption in nature, where tolerance thresholds
already have been exceeded for some plants and animals. In the short term, deer may …

Local adaptation is a central feature of most species occupying spatially heterogeneous
environments, and may factor critically in responses to environmental change. However …

The accumulation of biodiversity in tropical forests can occur through multiple allopatric and
parapatric models of diversification, including forest refugia, riverine barriers and ecological …

Millions of birds migrate to and from the Arctic each year, but rapid climate change in the
High North could strongly affect where species are able to breed, disrupting migratory …

Despite widespread biodiversity losses, an understanding of how most taxa will respond to
future climate change is lacking. Here we integrate genomics and environmental modelling …

Aim Mounting evidence suggests that failure of species distribution models to integrate local
adaptation hinders our ability to predict distribution ranges, raising the question of whether …
