Rapid Range Shifts of Species Associated with High Levels of Climate Warming

TL;DR: A meta-analysis shows that species are shifting their distributions in response to climate change at an accelerating rate, and that the range shift of each species depends on multiple internal species traits and external drivers of change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Poleward shifts in geographical ranges of butterfly species associated with regional warming

TL;DR: The authors showed that migratory species can respond rapidly to yearly climate variation, and further global warming is predicted to continue for the next 50-100 years, and some migratory animals can respond quickly to climate variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The distributions of a wide range of taxonomic groups are expanding polewards

TL;DR: It is shown that a wide variety of vertebrate and invertebrate species have moved northwards and uphill in Britain over approximately 25 years, mirroring, and in some cases exceeding, the responses of better‐known groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid responses of British butterflies to opposing forces of climate and habitat change.

TL;DR: The dual forces of habitat modification and climate change are likely to cause specialists to decline, leaving biological communities with reduced numbers of species and dominated by mobile and widespread habitat generalists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas

William F. Laurance, +216 more
- 13 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.
