TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the speckled wood butterfly Pararge aegeria and use a spatially explicit mechanistic model (MIGRATE) to simulate range expansion in two areas of the UK.

TL;DR: Climate envelope models provide the best approach currently available for evaluating reliably the potential impacts of future climate change upon biodiversity, and goodness-of-fit measures showed that useful models were fitted for >96% of species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the circumstances under which control programmes may reduce the range of two widespread invasive weeds of riparian habitats: Impatiens glandulifera (Himalayan balsam) and Heracleum mantegazzianum (giant hogweed).

TL;DR: The demonstration that climate envelope models are able to retrodict species' population trends provides a valuable validation of their use in studies of the potential impacts of future climatic changes.

TL;DR: An approach to determine appropriate climate-change adaptation strategies for individual sites within a network that was based on projections of future changes in the relative proportions of emigrants, colonists, and persistent species demonstrated that such planning frameworks are necessary, if current conservation strategies are to be adapted effectively, and feasible, if applied judiciously.
