The rate of biodiversity loss is not slowing despite global commitments, and the depletion of
animal species can reduce the stability of ecological communities. Despite this continued …

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 …

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

Over the past half century, migratory birds in North America have shown divergent
population trends relative to resident species, with the former declining rapidly and the latter …

ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

Schedules of survival, growth and reproduction are key life‐history traits. Data on how these
traits vary among species and populations are fundamental to our understanding of the …

The importance of reconstructing past environments quantitatively in palaeoecology is
reviewed by showing that many ecological questions asked of palaeoecological data …

Rapid environmental changes are threatening biodiversity and exposing species to novel
ecological and evolutionary pressures. The scientific community increasingly recognizes the …

From the red grouse to the Ethiopian bush-crow, bird populations around the world can
provide us with vital insights into the effects of climate change on species and ecosystems …

Abstract Models that couple habitat suitability with demographic processes offer a potentially
improved approach for estimating spatial distributional shifts and extinction risk under …
