...Throughout the history of Earth, climate has changed and species have coped and adapted to these changes, but current climate change is threatening biodiversity because it is fast compared with most past changes (Thomas et al., 2004)....

...However, species unable to achieve a sufficient level of adaptation will likely face local or global extinction and this is more likely to happen to species with restricted climate and habitat requirements, limited dispersal abilities and ectothermal physiology (Walther et al., 2002; Thomas et al., 2004; Massot et al., 2008)....
