Climate change is a long-lasting change in the weather arrays across tropics to polls. It is a
global threat that has embarked on to put stress on various sectors. This study is aimed to …

Predictive models are central to many scientific disciplines and vital for informing
management in a rapidly changing world. However, limited understanding of the accuracy …

Macroclimate warming is often assumed to occur within forests despite the potential for tree
cover to modify microclimates. Here, using paired measurements, we compared the …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

BACKGROUND The success of human societies depends intimately on the living
components of natural and managed systems. Although the geographical range limits of …

The aim of the ecospat package is to make available novel tools and methods to support
spatial analyses and modeling of species niches and distributions in a coherent workflow …

Microclimates at the land–air interface affect the physiological functioning of organisms
which, in turn, influences the structure, composition, and functioning of ecosystems. We …

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world
will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical …

The mutualism between plants and their pollinators provides globally important ecosystem
services, but it is likely to be disrupted by global warming that can cause mismatches …

Many studies report that mountain plant species are shifting upward in elevation. However,
the majority of these reports focus on shifts of upper limits. Here, we expand the focus and …
