Within the field of species distribution modelling an apparent dichotomy exists between
process‐based and correlative approaches, where the processes are explicit in the former …

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 …

Current conservation policy has been shaped by the expectation that, for many species,
places with suitable climate will lie outside their current range, thus leading to predictions of …

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 …

The role of modern climatic microrefugia is a neglected aspect in the study of biotic
responses to anthropogenic climate change. Current projections of species redistribution at …

The topics assessed in this chapter were last assessed by the IPCC in 2007, principally in
WGII AR4 Chapters 3 (Kundzewicz et al., 2007) and 4 (Fischlin et al., 2007), but also in WGII …

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 …

Refugia have long been studied from paleontological and biogeographical perspectives to
understand how populations persisted during past periods of unfavorable climate. Recently …

The ranges of plants and animals are moving in response to recent changes in climate. As
temperatures rise, ecosystems with 'nowhere to go', such as mountains, are considered to …

Abstract Aim We aim to:(1) explore thermal habitat preferences in alpine plant species
across mosaics of topographically controlled micro‐habitats;(2) test the predictive value of …
