Adaptation within species to local environments is widespread in nature. Better
understanding this local adaptation is critical to conserving biodiversity. However …

Assessing the vulnerability of species to climate change serves as the basis for climate‐
adaptation planning and climate‐smart conservation, and typically involves an evaluation of …

Natural resources managers are being asked to follow practices that accommodate for the
impact of climate change on the ecosystems they manage, while global‐ecosystems …

The impacts of climate change pose fundamental challenges for current approaches to
biodiversity conservation. Changing temperature and precipitation regimes will interact with …

Range shifting is vital for species persistence, but there is little consensus on why individual
species vary so greatly in the rates at which their ranges have shifted in response to recent …

The potential impact of climate change on biodiversity is well documented. A well developed
range of statistical methods currently exists that projects the possible future habitat of a …

Species' range shifts in response to ongoing climate change have been widely documented,
but although complex spatial patterns in species' responses are expected to be common …

Species may survive under contemporary climate change by either shifting their range or
adapting locally to the warmer conditions. Theoretical and empirical studies recently …

Adaptive capacity (AC)—the ability of a species to cope with or accommodate climate
change—is a critical determinant of species vulnerability. Using information on species' AC …

Global climate change is frequently considered a major conservation threat. The Earth's
climate has already warmed by 0.5° C over the past century, and recent studies show that it …
