Region-wide retreats from lower elevations of range-restricted birds across the Northern Andes.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology [Conserv Biol] 2023 Oct; Vol. 37 (5), pp. e14127. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jun 20.
Abstract: Local studies show upslope shifts in the distribution of tropical birds in response to warming temperatures. Unanswered is whether these upward shifts occur regionally across many species. We considered a nearly 2000-km length of the Northern Andes, wh...
Temperature niche composition change inside and outside protected areas under climate warming.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology [Conserv Biol] 2023 Oct; Vol. 37 (5), pp. e14134. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Aug 11.
Abstract: Conservation of biodiversity relies heavily on protected areas but their role and effectiveness under a warming climate is still debated. We estimated the climate-driven changes in the temperature niche compositions of bird communities inside and outsi...
Mean species responses predict effects of environmental change on coexistence.
Publication Type: Editorial & Opinion
Source(s): Ecology letters [Ecol Lett] 2023 Sep; Vol. 26 (9), pp. 1535-1547. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jun 20.
Abstract: Environmental change research is plagued by the curse of dimensionality: the number of communities at risk and the number of environmental drivers are both large. This raises the pressing question if a general understanding of ecological effects is ach...
Fennoscandian tree-ring anatomy shows a warmer modern than medieval climate.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Nature [Nature] 2023 Aug; Vol. 620 (7972), pp. 97-103. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Aug 02.
Abstract: Earth system models and various climate proxy sources indicate global warming is unprecedented during at least the Common Era 1 . However, tree-ring proxies often estimate temperatures during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (950-1250 CE) that are similar ...
Tree biodiversity of warm drylands is likely to decline in a drier world.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Global change biology [Glob Chang Biol] 2023 Jul; Vol. 29 (13), pp. 3707-3722. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Apr 25.
Abstract: Warm drylands represent 19% of land surfaces worldwide and host ca. 1100 tree species. The risk of decline due to climate aridification of this neglected biodiversity has been overlooked despite its ecological and societal importance. To fill this gap,...
Observed and projected functional reorganization of riverine fish assemblages from global change.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Global change biology [Glob Chang Biol] 2023 Jul; Vol. 29 (13), pp. 3759-3780. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Apr 16.
Abstract: Climate and land-use/land-cover change ("global change") are restructuring biodiversity, globally. Broadly, environmental conditions are expected to become warmer, potentially drier (particularly in arid regions), and more anthropogenically developed i...
Reversed Holocene temperature-moisture relationship in the Horn of Africa.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Nature [Nature] 2023 Aug; Vol. 620 (7973), pp. 336-343. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Aug 09.
Abstract: Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to severely impact the global hydrological cycle 1 , particularly in tropical regions where agriculture-based economies depend on monsoon rainfall 2 . In the Horn of Africa, more frequent drought conditions in ...
Impact of climate extreme events and their causality on maize yield in South Africa.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Scientific reports [Sci Rep] 2023 Aug 01; Vol. 13 (1), pp. 12462. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Aug 01.
Abstract: Extreme climate events can have a significant negative impact on maize productivity, resulting in food scarcity and socioeconomic losses. Thus, quantifying their effect is needed for developing future adaptation and mitigation strategies, especially fo...
Impacts of anthropogenic climate change on tropical montane forests: an appraisal of the evidence.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society [Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc] 2023 Aug; Vol. 98 (4), pp. 1200-1224. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 29.
Abstract: In spite of their small global area and restricted distributions, tropical montane forests (TMFs) are biodiversity hotspots and important ecosystem services providers, but are also highly vulnerable to climate change. To protect and preserve these ecos...
