TL;DR: It is found that species are responding to climate change through changes in morphology and behavior, phenology, and geographic range shifts, and these changes are mediated by plastic and evolutionary responses.

TL;DR: A synthesis of the recent literature describing how global biodiversity is being affected by climate change and is projected to respond in the future is provided in this paper, with a focus on adaptation strategies for biodiversity conservation, which not only require flexible decision-making and management approaches that account for uncerta...

TL;DR: The analysis indicates that recent population decline has had less genetic impact than postglacial recolonization history, and the genetic impact of large‐scale recent population losses in forest trees should be considered in the light of Pleistocene‐era large-scale range shifts that may have had long‐term genetic consequences.
