Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate
change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide …

The continuous temperature rise has raised global concerns about CO2 emissions. As the
country with the largest CO2 emissions, China is facing the challenge of achieving large …

We examine the evidence linking species' traits to contemporary range shifts and find they
are poor predictors of range shifts that have occurred over decades to a century. We then …

Animals are facing novel 'timescapes' in which the stimuli entraining their daily activity
patterns no longer match historical conditions due to anthropogenic disturbance. However …

As the climate has warmed, many birds have advanced their breeding timing. However, as
climate change also changes temperature distributions, breeding earlier might increase …

A major challenge in modern biology is to understand extinction risk from climate change
across all realms. Recent research has revealed that physiological tolerance, behavioral …

Species are altering their ranges as a response to climate change, but the magnitude and
direction of observed range shifts vary considerably among species. The ability to persist in …

Terrestrial species can respond to a warming climate in multiple ways, including shifting in
space (via latitude or elevation) and time (via phenology). Evidence for such shifts is often …

Species can adapt to climate change by adjusting in situ or by dispersing to new areas, and
these strategies may complement or enhance each other. Here, we investigate temporal …
