Shifts in species distributions are a common ecological response to climate change, and
global temperature rise is often hypothesized as the primary driver. However, the directions …

As climates change across already stressed ecosystems, there is no doubt that species will
be affected, but to what extent and which will be most vulnerable remain uncertain. The …

Studies have documented climate change–induced shifts in species distributions but
uncertainties associated with data and methods are typically unexplored. We reviewed 240 …

Climate change is driving global species redistribution with profound social and economic
impacts. However, species movement is largely constrained by habitat availability and …

Ecological changes in the phenology and distribution of plants and animals are occurring in
all well-studied marine, freshwater, and terrestrial groups. These observed changes are …

Spatial fingerprints of climate change on biotic communities are usually associated with
changes in the distribution of species at their latitudinal or altitudinal extremes. By …

Birds are among the most widely studied organisms on earth and represent an important
indicator group for learning about the effects of climate change–particularly in regard to the …

Climate change is transforming the structure of biological communities through the
geographic extension and contraction of species' ranges. Range edges are naturally …

Limitations imposed on species ranges by the climatic, ecological, and physiological effects
of elevation are important determinants of extinction risk. We modeled the effects of …

Reef-building corals are under increasing physiological stress from a changing climate and
ocean absorption of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide. We investigated 328 colonies …
