Macroclimatic variation along latitudinal gradients provides an excellent natural laboratory to investigate the role of temperature and the potential impacts of climate warming on terrestrial organisms. Here, we review the use of latitudinal …
Google Scholar informed me today that our commentary in Nature Climate Change about the complexities involved in assessing community responses to climate change just got its first citation, six months after being published.
A report of the wonderful workshop held in Eugene, OR last summer about climate refugia has now appeared in New Phytologist. There we summarise the interesting discussions we had between a varied group of palaeoecologists, climatologists, modellers, phylogeographers and geneticists.
Climate change is challenging the predictive ability of ecologists, evolutionary biologists and scientists as a whole. We are urged to anticipate the impacts in order to attempt mitigation, but reliable forecasts of the future dynamics of …
Investigating the effects of past climate change on species ranges can be a fruitful way to improve our ecological understanding and predictive abilities for future periods. To date, this retrospective knowledge has mostly been based on fossils, …
The inherent variability of species’ thermal tolerances and the uncertainty in its estimation profoundly affect inferences about climate-driven community reshuffling.
