Extinction risk from climate change
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
Species richness changes lag behind climate change
Rosa Menéndez,Adela González Megías,Jane K. Hill,Brigitte Braschler,Stephen G. Willis,Yvonne C. Collingham,Richard Fox,David B. Roy,Chris D. Thomas +8 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that the average species richness of British butterflies has increased since 1970–82, but much more slowly than predicted from changes of climate: on average, only one-third of the predicted increase has taken place.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of climate warming and habitat loss on extinctions at species' low‐latitude range boundaries
Aldina M. A. Franco,Jane K. Hill,Claudia Kitschke,Yvonne C. Collingham,David B. Roy,Richard Fox,Brian Huntley,Chris D. Thomas +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors surveyed the four species of butterflies that reach their southern limits in Britain and found that the southern/warm range margins of some species are as sensitive to climate change as are northern/cool margins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct and indirect effects of climate and habitat factors on butterfly diversity
Rosa Menéndez,Adela González-Megías,Yvonne C. Collingham,Richard Fox,David B. Roy,Ralf Ohlemüller,Chris D. Thomas +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of direct and indirect effects of climate variables, host-plant richness, and habitat diversity on butterfly species richness across Britain suggests that different mechanistic hypotheses to explain species richness may be more appropriate for habitat generalists and specialists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential impacts of climatic change on European breeding birds.
TL;DR: The magnitude of the potential impacts estimated for European breeding birds emphasises the importance of climatic change.
