TL;DR: Dispersal‐vicariance analysis using cladograms derived from morphology and three independent genes indicated a Malagasy diversification of lime swallowtails in the middle Miocene, suggesting diversification processes on the island of Madagascar may have contributed to the origin of common butterflies that now occur throughout much of the Old World tropical and subtemperate regions.

TL;DR: The results suggest that species traits may be important indicators of future climate change and it is believed multi-species approaches are likely to lead to more effective mitigation measures and conservation management.

TL;DR: Thomas et al. as mentioned in this paper confirmed their original conclusion that climate change represents a major threat to terrestrial species, in the light of three questions raised by Thuiller, Buckley and Roughgarden.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of species invasions in Ireland was presented, where global climate niche models were used to determine the extent to which global climate models can be improved by the addition of fine-scale regional data and examine climatic and environmental factors influencing the range of 15 invasive aquatic plants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the methodological issues in the use of reserve selection algorithms by comparing: (1) quality of input data and (2) use of different weighting methods for prioritizing among species.
