Shifts in species distributions are a common ecological response to climate change, and
global temperature rise is often hypothesized as the primary driver. However, the directions …

The Anthropocene presents formidable threats to freshwater ecosystems. Lakes are
especially vulnerable and important at the same time. They cover only a small area …

Recent assessment reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and

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 …

Climate is a critical driver of many fish populations, assemblages, and aquatic communities.
However, direct observational studies of climate change impacts on North American inland …

Large rivers constitute small portions of drainage networks but provide important migratory
habitats and fisheries for salmon and trout when and where temperatures are sufficiently …

Climate change is driving a pervasive global redistribution of the planet's species. Species
redistribution poses new questions for the study of ecosystems, conservation science and …

The imminent demise of montane species is a recurrent theme in the climate change
literature, particularly for aquatic species that are constrained to networks and elevational …

Co‐extinctions are increasingly recognized as one of the major processes leading to the
global biodiversity crisis, but there is still limited scientific evidence on the magnitude of …
