Species distribution models rarely predict the biology of real populations
Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology. In theory, SDMs capture (at
least part of) species' ecological niches and can be used to make inferences about the …

Beyond predictions: biodiversity conservation in a changing climate
Climate change is predicted to become a major threat to biodiversity in the 21st century, but
accurate predictions and effective solutions have proved difficult to formulate. Alarming …

Demographic consequences of phenological shifts in response to climate change
When a phenological shift affects a demographic vital rate such as survival or reproduction,
the altered vital rate may or may not have population-level consequences. We review the …

Identifying the world's most climate change vulnerable species: a systematic trait-based assessment of all birds, amphibians and corals
Climate change will have far-reaching impacts on biodiversity, including increasing
extinction rates. Current approaches to quantifying such impacts focus on measuring …
