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 …

Building useful models of species distributions requires attention to several important issues,
one being imperfect detection of species. Data sets of species detections are likely to suffer …

Poleward and upward shifts are the most frequent types of range shifts that have been
reported in response to contemporary climate change. However, the number of reports …

Current climate change may be a major threat to global biodiversity, but the extent of species
loss will depend on the details of how species respond to changing climates. For example, if …

Climate impact studies have indicated ecological fingerprints of recent global warming
across a wide range of habitats,. Although these studies have shown responses from …

Found throughout the tree of life and in every ecosystem, parasites are some of the most
diverse, ecologically important animals on Earth—but in almost all cases, the least protected …

Policy‐makers increasingly demand robust measures of biodiversity change over short time
periods. Long‐term monitoring schemes provide high‐quality data, often on an annual …

With the advance of methods for estimating species distribution models has come an interest
in how to best combine datasets to improve estimates of species distributions. This has …

Global knowledge about the spatial distribution of species is orders of magnitude coarser in
resolution than other geographically-structured environmental datasets such as topography …

The identification of population bottlenecks is critical in conservation because populations
that have experienced significant reductions in abundance are subject to a variety of genetic …
