BACKGROUND The success of human societies depends intimately on the living
components of natural and managed systems. Although the geographical range limits of …

Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

We are part of Nature, not separate from it. We rely on Nature to provide us with food, water
and shelter; regulate our climate and disease; maintain nutrient cycles and oxygen …

As anthropogenic climate change continues the risks to biodiversity will increase over time,
with future projections indicating that a potentially catastrophic loss of global biodiversity is …

Understanding how species' thermal limits have evolved across the tree of life is central to
predicting species' responses to climate change. Here, using experimentally-derived …

Recent assessment reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and
the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services …

Extreme temperature events have occurred in all ocean basins in the past two decades with
detrimental impacts on marine biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. However …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

Local adaptations can determine the potential of populations to respond to environmental
changes, yet adaptive genetic variation is commonly ignored in models forecasting species …

A large array of species distribution model (SDM) approaches has been developed for
explaining and predicting the occurrences of individual species or species assemblages …
