TL;DR: A framework for the costs and benefits of collaboration, with a focus on early career stages, is presented, and how the implementation of novel measures of success can help defray the costs of collaboration is shown.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrate field seedling establishment trials conducted in the southern Sierra Nevada and western Tehachapi Mountains of southern California with spatially downscaled grids of modeled water-year climatic water deficit (CWDwy) and mean August maximum daily temperature (Tmax) to map historical and projected future microclimates suitable for establishment windows of opportunity for Quercus douglasii, a dominant tree species of warm, dry foothill woodlands, and Q.kelloggii, dominant of mesic montane woodlands and forests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the literature and defined four methods to test refugia predictions and proposed that such bottom-up approaches can lead to improved protected area designations and on-the-ground management actions to reduce influences from non-climate stressors within potential refugias.

TL;DR: Comparing taxonomic and life history traits of weeds with EHR to a control group (“the world's worst weeds”), it is found weed species that have EHR are significantly over-represented in certain plant families and having certain life history biases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a network of field temperature sensors and climate models to estimate microclimate variability of minimum and maximum temperature, which can be applied to improve projections of species' range shifts under climate change.
