TL;DR: This work introduces a framework that uses information from different sources to identify vulnerability and to support the design of conservation responses, and reviews the insights that different approaches bring to anticipating and managing the biodiversity consequences of climate change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that no-analog communities (communities that are compositionally unlike any found today) occurred frequently in the past and will develop in the greenhouse world of the future.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed multimodel ensembles for the A2 and B1 emission scenarios produced for the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, with the goal of identifying regions projected to experience high magnitudes of local climate change, development of novel 21st-century climates, and/or the disappearance of extant climates.

TL;DR: Clark, Lynch, and Wyckoff as discussed by the authors have been employed at the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) since 1998, where they were employed in the Department of Botany, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708; Chris Fastie and Stephen T. Jackson are at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY 82701; George Hurtt and Stephen Pacala are at Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544-1003; Carter Johnson is at South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD 57007; George A. King is

TL;DR: The late Quaternary records indicate the modes and mechanisms of environmental variation and biotic responses at timescales of 101-104 years as mentioned in this paper. But these patterns of change are characteristic of terrestrial plants and animals but may not represent all other lifeforms or habitats.
