Translocation or bust! A new acclimatization agenda for the 21st century?
There is little doubt that the species most at risk of extinction from rapid climate change are
short-range endemics facing insurmountable dispersal barriers to potentially suitable …

[PDF][PDF] The risks of assisted colonization
There is a growing debate over whether species should be translocated outside their historic
ranges to deal with extinction risks as habitats shift due to climate change. This idea of …

Recent ecological responses to climate change support predictions of high extinction risk
IMD Maclean, RJ Wilson - Proceedings of the National …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Predicted effects of climate change include high extinction risk for many species, but
confidence in these predictions is undermined by a perceived lack of empirical support …

Predicting biodiversity change: outside the climate envelope, beyond the species–area curve
Efforts to anticipate threats to biodiversity take the form of species richness predictions
(SRPs) based on simple correlations with current climate and habitat area. We review the …

Endemism increases species' climate change risk in areas of global biodiversity importance
Climate change affects life at global scales and across systems but is of special concern in
areas that are disproportionately rich in biological diversity and uniqueness. Using a meta …
