The effects of climate change on biodiversity are increasingly well documented, and many
methods have been developed to assess species' vulnerability to climatic changes, both …

Aim Identifying and protecting refugia is a priority for conservation under projected
anthropogenic climate change, because of their demonstrated ability to facilitate the survival …

Motivation The availability of user‐friendly, high‐resolution global environmental datasets is
crucial for bioclimatic modelling. For terrestrial environments, WorldClim has served this …

Our understanding of how global climatic changes are translated into ice-sheet fluctuations
and sea-level change is currently limited by a lack of knowledge of the configuration of ice …

Species distribution modeling is a valuable tool with many applications across ecology and
evolutionary biology. The selection of biologically meaningful environmental variables that …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

Using known occurrences of species and correlational modeling approaches has become a
common paradigm in broad-scale ecology and biogeography, yet important aspects of the …

Bioclimatic envelope models use associations between aspects of climate and species'
occurrences to estimate the conditions that are suitable to maintain viable populations. Once …

Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are
thought to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate …

Aim The aims of this study were to assess the distribution of putative Mediterranean refugia
of plants, to compare the locations of refugia and those of regional hotspots of plant …
