Mechanisms of reef coral resistance to future climate change
Reef corals are highly sensitive to heat, yet populations resistant to climate change have
recently been identified. To determine the mechanisms of temperature tolerance, we …

Habitat amount modulates biodiversity responses to fragmentation
Anthropogenic habitat destruction leads to habitat loss and fragmentation, both of which
interact to determine how biodiversity changes at the landscape level. While the detrimental …

The Impact of Climate Change on Indigenous Arabica Coffee (Coffea arabica): Predicting Future Trends and Identifying Priorities
Precise modelling of the influence of climate change on Arabica coffee is limited; there are
no data available for indigenous populations of this species. In this study we model the …

Biodiversity management in the face of climate change: a review of 22 years of recommendations
Climate change creates new challenges for biodiversity conservation. Species ranges and
ecological dynamics are already responding to recent climate shifts, and current reserves …

Running to stand still: adaptation and the response of plants to rapid climate change
AS Jump, J Peñuelas - Ecology letters, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Climate is a potent selective force in natural populations, yet the importance of adaptation in
the response of plant species to past climate change has been questioned. As many species …

The distributions of a wide range of taxonomic groups are expanding polewards
Evidence is accumulating of shifts in species' distributions during recent climate warming.
However, most of this information comes predominantly from studies of a relatively small …

Do species' traits predict recent shifts at expanding range edges?
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 677–689 Abstract Although some organisms have moved to
higher elevations and latitudes in response to recent climate change, there is little …
