...A failure of species to respond sufficiently to the new environmental conditions may result in population declines or even species extinctions (Thomas et al., 2004; Parmesan, 2006)....

...…continue to migrate at the rates observed here and are incapable of tolerating and/or adapting to rising temperatures, they will fail to keep pace with future climate changes, resulting in rapid losses of habitat area and high risks of extinction (Thomas et al., 2004; Feeley & Silman, 2010a)....

...…important conservation implications, potentially leading to widespread species extinctions due to reductions in habitat area and population size (Thomas et al., 2004; Feeley & Silman, 2010a) and to local declines in biodiversity due to ‘biotic attrition’ (Colwell et al., 2008; Feeley & Silman,…...

...…(e.g. Kozak &Wiens 2006; Eaton, Sober on & Peterson 2008), test ecological niche conservatism (e.g. Peterson, Sober on & S anchez-Cordero 1999; Peterson 2011), or anticipate model behaviour when models are transferred (e.g., Thomas et al. 2004), is often a risky proposition (see Owens et al. 2013)....

...Our estimates of extinction risk are lower than previous estimates of the proportion of species committed to extinction by 2050 (1), but they are within the same order of magnitude....

...Both these estimates are based on approaches that can be sensitive to ecological and methodological assumptions (5–8), and the latter study considers only geographical range shifts resulting from changes in temperature and rainfall (1)....

...Comprehensive, multitaxon reviews suggest that 10–70% of plant and animal species assessed so far could be at increased risk of extinction from climate change (4) or that by 2050, climate-induced changes in habitat will commit 15–37%of species to extinction (1)....
