TLDR
The authors showed that migratory species can respond rapidly to yearly climate variation, and further global warming is predicted to continue for the next 50-100 years, and some migratory animals can respond quickly to climate variation.Abstract:
Mean global temperatures have risen this century, and further warming is predicted to continue for the next 50-100 years(1-3) Some migratory species can respond rapidly to yearly climate variation ...read more

A globally coherent fingerprint of climate change impacts across natural systems
Camille Parmesan,Gary W. Yohe +1 more
TL;DR: A diagnostic fingerprint of temporal and spatial ‘sign-switching’ responses uniquely predicted by twentieth century climate trends is defined and generates ‘very high confidence’ (as laid down by the IPCC) that climate change is already affecting living systems.

Gian-Reto Walther,Eric Post,Peter Convey,Annette Menzel,Camille Parmesan,Trevor J. C. Beebee,Jean-Marc Fromentin,Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,Franz Bairlein +8 more
TL;DR: A review of the ecological impacts of recent climate change exposes a coherent pattern of ecological change across systems, from polar terrestrial to tropical marine environments.

Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change
TL;DR: Range-restricted species, particularly polar and mountaintop species, show severe range contractions and have been the first groups in which entire species have gone extinct due to recent climate change.

Global pollinator declines: trends, impacts and drivers.
Simon G. Potts,Jacobus C. Biesmeijer,Claire Kremen,Peter J. Neumann,Oliver Schweiger,William E. Kunin +5 more
TL;DR: The nature and extent of reported declines, and the potential drivers of pollinator loss are described, including habitat loss and fragmentation, agrochemicals, pathogens, alien species, climate change and the interactions between them are reviewed.

Metapopulation Biology: Ecology, Genetics, and Evolution
Ilkka Hanski,Michael E. Gilpin +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents empirical evidence for Metapopulation Dynamics, a theory and empirical evidence of the effects of migration rate and other Traits, and two models of metapopulations, one of which is based on two species and the other on a two-Species model.

Maximum and Minimum Temperature Trends for the Globe
David R. Easterling,Briony Horton,Philip Jones,Thomas C. Peterson,Thomas R. Karl,D. E. Parker,M. James Salinger,Vyacheslav Razuvayev,Neil Plummer,Paul F. Jamason,Chris K. Folland +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the global mean surface air temperature has shown that its increase is due, at least in part, to differential changes in daily maximum and minimum temperatures, resulting in a narrowing of the diurnal temperature range.
A new look at maximum and minimum temperature trends for the globe

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of changes in the diurnal temperature range (DTR) for many parts of the globe is presented, which includes data for an additional 15% of the global land area and an extension of the analysis period used in previous studies.

Making mistakes when predicting shifts in species range in response to global warming

TL;DR: It is shown that dispersal and interactions, which are important elements of population dynamics, must be included in predictions of biotic responses to climate change.
