Improving our understanding of species ranges under rapid climate change requires
application of our knowledge of the tolerance and adaptive capacity of populations to …

Predicting past distributions of species climatic niches, hindcasting, by using climate
envelope models (CEMs) is emerging as an exciting research area. CEMs are used to …

Changes in climate are affecting the distribution and status of species on a global scale,
