Chris D. Thomas,Alison Cameron,Rhys E. Green,Rhys E. Green,Michel Bakkenes,Linda J. Beaumont,Yvonne C. Collingham,Barend F.N. Erasmus,Marinez Ferreira de Siqueira,Alan Grainger,Lee Hannah,Lesley Hughes,Brian Huntley,Albert S. van Jaarsveld,Guy F. Midgley,Lera Miles,Lera Miles,Miguel A. Ortega-Huerta,A. Townsend Peterson,Oliver L. Phillips,Stephen E. Williams +20 more
TL;DR: Estimates of extinction risks for sample regions that cover some 20% of the Earth's terrestrial surface show the importance of rapid implementation of technologies to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and strategies for carbon sequestration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Warming and Extinctions of Endemic Species from Biodiversity Hotspots
TL;DR: Estimated global-warming-induced rates of species extinctions in tropical hotspots in some cases exceeded those due to deforestation, supporting suggestions that global warming is one of the most serious threats to the planet's biodiversity.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Would climate change drive species out of reserves? An assessment of existing reserve‐selection methods
Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Mar Cabeza,Wilfried Thuiller,Lee Hannah,Paul H. Williams +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of existing reserve-selection methods to secure species in a climate change context is assessed, for the first time, using European distributions of 1200 plant species and considering two extreme scenarios of response to climate change: no dispersal and universal dispersal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change, wine, and conservation
Lee Hannah,Lee Hannah,Patrick R. Roehrdanz,Makihiko Ikegami,Anderson Shepard,M. Rebecca Shaw,Gary M. Tabor,Lu Zhi,Pablo A. Marquet,Robert J. Hijmans +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, on a global scale, the impacts of climate change on viticultural suitability are substantial, leading to possible conservation conflicts in land use and freshwater ecosystems.
