[HTML][HTML] Species better track climate warming in the oceans than on land
There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge
of the coupling between species range shifts and isotherm shifts remains limited. Here, we …

The projected effect on insects, vertebrates, and plants of limiting global warming to 1.5 C rather than 2 C
In the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the United Nations is pursuing efforts to limit
global warming to 1.5° C, whereas earlier aspirations focused on a 2° C limit. With current …
