Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: impacts on ecosystems and human well-being

Gretta T. Pecl, +47 more
- 31 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: The negative effects of climate change cannot be adequately anticipated or prepared for unless species responses are explicitly included in decision-making and global strategic frameworks, and feedbacks on climate itself are documented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Major histocompatibility complex and mate choice in sand lizards.

TL;DR: Data on free-ranging lizards suggest that associations between males and females are nonrandom with respect to MHC genotype, however, male spatial distribution and mobility during the mating season suggest that the non-random pairing process in the wild may also be driven by corresponding genetic benefits to males pairing with less related females.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sexual dimorphism in lizard body shape: the roles of sexual selection and fecundity selection.

TL;DR: Fecundity selection and sexual selection work in concert to drive the evolution of sexual dimorphism in trunk length in snow skinks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate-driven population divergence in sex-determining systems

TL;DR: The results establish an adaptive explanation for intra-specific divergence in sex-determining systems driven by phenotypic plasticity and ecological selection, thereby providing a unifying framework for integrating the developmental, ecological and evolutionary basis for variation in vertebrate sex determination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Managing consequences of climate-driven species redistribution requires integration of ecology, conservation and social science

Timothy C. Bonebrake, +48 more
- 01 Feb 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how ecological, conservation and social research on species redistribution can best be achieved by working across disciplinary boundaries to develop and implement solutions to climate change challenges.
