Evolution and Ecology of Species Range Limits
TL;DR: Range edges are characterized by increased genetic isolation, genetic differentiation, and variability in individual and population performance, but evidence for decreased abundance and fitness is lacking, and a better fusion of experimentation and theory will advance understanding of the causes of range limits.

Journal ArticleDOI
Disequilibrium vegetation dynamics under future climate change
TL;DR: The likely pervasiveness and complexity of vegetation disequilibrium is a major challenge for forecasting ecological dynamics and, combined with the high ecological importance of vegetation, also constitutes a major challenged for future nature conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Could the tree diversity pattern in Europe be generated by postglacial dispersal limitation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on Central and Northern Europe and show that recent estimates of tree migration rates < 100 m year(-1) imply that many species have probably not reached equilibrium with climate in this region.

Patterns of post-glacial spread and the extent of glacial refugia of European beech (Fagus sylvatica)
TL;DR: This paper established possible relationships between the magnitudes of the glacial distribution of the European beech, Fagus sylvatica L., and its postglacial spread, and found that the post-glacial distribution is more stable than that of the original beech.

Evidence for general instability of past climate from a 250-kyr ice-core record
Willi Dansgaard,Sigfus J Johnsen,Sigfus J Johnsen,Henrik Clausen,Dorthe Dahl-Jensen,Niels S. Gundestrup,Claus U. Hammer,Christine S. Hvidberg,Jørgen Peder Steffensen,Arny E. Sveinbjörnsdottir,Jean Jouzel,Gerard C. Bond +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed stable isotope record for the full length of the Greenland Ice-core Project Summit ice core, extending over the past 250 kyr according to a calculated timescale, and find that climate instability was not confined to the last glaciation, but appears also have been marked during the last interglacial (as explored more fully in a companion paper), and during the previous Saale-Holstein glacial cycle.

INTCAL98 Radiocarbon Age Calibration, 24,000-0 cal BP
Minze Stuiver,Paula J. Reimer,Edouard Bard,J.W Beck,George S. Burr,Konrad A Hughen,Bernd Kromer,Gerry McCormac,Johannes van der Plicht,Marco Spurk +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the conversion of radiocarbon ages to calibrated (cal) ages for the interval 24,000-0 cal BP (Before Present, 0 cal BP = AD 1950) is discussed.

Comparison of oxygen isotope records from the GISP2 and GRIP Greenland ice cores
Pieter Meiert Grootes,Minze Stuiver,James W. C. White,Sigfus J Johnsen,Sigfus J Johnsen,Jean Jouzel +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the complete oxygen isotope record for the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) core, drilled 28 km west of the GRIP core, and observe large, rapid climate fluctuations throughout the last glacial period.
BookDOI
Tracking Environmental Change Using Lake Sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of numerical methods for the analysis of palaeolimnological data and present case studies of commonly used numerical techniques to evaluate surface water acidification and eutrophication.

Handbook of Holocene Palaeoecology and Palaeohydrology
TL;DR: A review of the key palaeoecological methods applied to primarily organic lake and mire deposits can be found in this article, with particular attention paid to Holocene environmental changes in the temperate zone.
