Mechanistic forecasts of species responses to climate change: the promise of biophysical ecology
A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future
environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such predictions and …

Advances in microclimate ecology arising from remote sensing
Microclimates at the land–air interface affect the physiological functioning of organisms
which, in turn, influences the structure, composition, and functioning of ecosystems. We …

Enhanced habitat loss of the Himalayan endemic flora driven by warming-forced upslope tree expansion
High-elevation trees cannot always reach the thermal treeline, the potential upper range
limit set by growing-season temperature. But delineation of the realized upper range limit of …

Vulnerability of global biodiversity hotspots to climate change
Motivation More than half of Earth's species are contained in a mere 1.4% of its land area,
but the climates of many of these biodiversity hotspots are projected to disappear as a …

Advances in monitoring and modelling climate at ecologically relevant scales
Most ecological studies of the effects of climate on species are based on average conditions
above ground level (measured by meteorological stations) averaged across 100 km 2 or …

SoilTemp: A global database of near‐surface temperature
Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most
often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated …

Species across the planet are shifting their ranges to track suitable climate conditions in
response to climate change. Given that protected areas have higher quality habitat and often …

A quantitative review of abundance‐based species distribution models
The contributions of species to ecosystem functions or services depend not only on their
presence but also on their local abundance. Progress in predictive spatial modelling has …

Incorporating microclimate into species distribution models
Species distribution models (SDMs) have rapidly evolved into one of the most widely used
tools to answer a broad range of ecological questions, from the effects of climate change to …
