Niche‐based modelling as a tool for predicting the risk of alien plant invasions at a global scale
Wilfried Thuiller,David M. Richardson,Petr Pyšek,Petr Pyšek,Guy F. Midgley,Greg Hughes,Mathieu Rouget +6 more
TL;DR: Cumulative probabilities of climatic suitability show that high-risk regions are spatially limited globally but that these closely match hotspots of plant biodiversity, emphasizing the pivotal role of climate in defining invasion potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change

Pearson,Richard G. Pearson,Stephen E. Williams,Stephen E. Williams,Stephen G. Willis,Bruce E. Young,Bruce E. Young,Carlo Rondinini,Carlo Rondinini +43 more
TL;DR: In this article, three main approaches used to derive these currencies (correlative, mechanistic and trait-based) and their associated data requirements, spatial and temporal scales of application and modelling methods are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protected area needs in a changing climate
Lee Hannah,Guy F. Midgley,Sandy J. Andelman,Miguel B. Araújo,Greg Hughes,Enrique Martínez-Meyer,Richard G. Pearson,Paul H. Williams +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply species distribution modeling and conservation planning tools in three regions (Mexico, the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, and Western Europe) to examine the need for additional protected areas in light of anticipated species range shifts caused by climate change.

Predicting extinction risks under climate change: coupling stochastic population models with dynamic bioclimatic habitat models.
David A. Keith,H. Resit Akçakaya,Wilfried Thuiller,Guy F. Midgley,Richard G. Pearson,Steven J. Phillips,Helen M. Regan,Miguel B. Araújo,Tony Rebelo +8 more
TL;DR: A novel mechanistic approach allows more complete and direct appraisal of future biotic responses than do static bioclimatic habitat modelling approaches, and will ultimately support development of more effective conservation strategies to mitigate biodiversity losses due to climate change.
