Protecting biodiversity against the impacts of climate change requires effective conservation
strategies that safeguard species at risk of extinction. Microrefugia allowed populations to …

Current conservation policy has been shaped by the expectation that, for many species,
places with suitable climate will lie outside their current range, thus leading to predictions of …

Although increased temperatures are known to reinforce the effects of habitat destruction at
local to landscape scales, evidence of their additive or interactive effects is limited …

The role of modern climatic microrefugia is a neglected aspect in the study of biotic
responses to anthropogenic climate change. Current projections of species redistribution at …

Climate stability leads to high levels of speciation and reduced extinction rates, shaping
species richness patterns,–. Hotspots of species diversity often overlap with regions that …

Aim Despite predictions of high extinction risk resulting from climate change, range
expansions have been documented more frequently than range retractions, prompting …

Identifying refugia is a critical component of effective conservation of biodiversity under
anthropogenic climate change. However, despite a surge in conceptual and practical …

Climate change presents a substantial threat to species unable to keep pace via migration
or adaptation. In-situ climate refugia, areas currently occupied by a species and that remain …

Species across the planet are shifting their ranges to track suitable climate conditions in
response to climate change. Given that protected areas have higher quality habitat and often …

Climate change may be a major threat to biodiversity in the next 100 years. Although there
has been important work on mechanisms of decline in some species, it generally remains …
