...Species whose future potential range is markedly smaller in extent than their present range also face the likelihood of population reduction and heightened extinction risk [13], even if they are able to respond sufficiently rapidly that their realised range corresponds to their potential range....

...Because the extent to which species will achieve range changes depends upon the rate of climatic change relative to the rate at which species can extend their range boundaries [11,12], potential future number of species per grid cell was estimated for ‘worst case’ and ‘best case’ alternatives [13], i....

...Projected climatic change during the present century also can be expected to increase extinction risk [13], especially for species with small range extents and those occupying climatic conditions that are unlikely to persist in the future....

...As in previous studies of the potential impacts of climatic change [13], this number was calculated in two ways, firstly assuming ‘perfect’ dispersal (N), i....
