Ecology Letters (2012) 15: 365–377 Abstract Many studies in recent years have investigated
the effects of climate change on the future of biodiversity. In this review, we first examine the …

Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be a major cause of species extinctions in the
next 100 years. But what will actually cause these extinctions? For example, will it be limited …

Recent assessment reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and
the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services …

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

Climate change has been associated with both latitudinal and elevational shifts in species'
ranges. The extent, however, to which climate change has driven recent range shifts …

Current predictions of extinction risks from climate change vary widely depending on the
specific assumptions and geographic and taxonomic focus of each study. I synthesized …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

Bioclimatic envelope models use associations between aspects of climate and species'
occurrences to estimate the conditions that are suitable to maintain viable populations. Once …

Global change drivers are known to interact in their effects on biodiversity, but much
research to date ignores this complexity. As a consequence, there are problems in the …

The effects of climate change on biodiversity are increasingly well documented, and many
methods have been developed to assess species' vulnerability to climatic changes, both …
