...Furthermore, although there are fewer studies that attempt to model future rather than document past distribution shifts, there are those that do, and one of the most commonly used techniques is the ‘climate-envelope approach’ (e.g. Berry et al., 2002; Thomas et al., 2004; Harrison et al., 2006)....

...…extremities of species ranges mirror those occurring at the warmer margins such that the same ‘climate-space’ is occupied (e.g. Berry et al., 2002; Thomas et al., 2004; Harrison et al., 2006), or attempt to project forwards from current relationships, thus assuming that temperature-responses…...

...Studies that attempt to predict future distributions and abundances of organisms often assume that changes at the colder extremities of species ranges mirror those occurring at the warmer margins such that the same ‘climate-space’ is occupied (e.g. Berry et al., 2002; Thomas et al., 2004; Harrison et al., 2006), or attempt to project forwards from current relationships, thus assuming that temperature-responses are not temperature-dependent (Roy et al....

...For example, Thomas et al. (2004) use time scales of 50 years [for Critically Endangered (CR) and Endangered (EN)] and 100 years [for Vulnerable (VU)] to assess declines in future ranges of species, stating that the original time scales ‘are not suited to evaluate the consequences of slow-acting…...

...In the case of Thomas et al. (2004), the results are likely to have been conservative (underestimating potentially threatened species, because the thresholds r 2006 The Authors Journal compilation r 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 12, 2037–2043 for EOO are higher than those…...

...In this paper, we focus on a different problematic aspect of this approach: that of linking the results of bioclimatic models (shifts and reductions in species’ ranges) to extinction rates, using an approach loosely based on the IUCN Red List Criteria (IUCN, 2001), as has been carried out in a number of recent publications (Thomas et al., 2004; Bomhard et al., 2005; Shoo et al., 2005a; Thuiller et al., 2005)....
