Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are
thought to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate …

There is an urgent need to understand species and community responses to climatic and
ecological changes to predict biodiversity patterns given anticipated global change. The …

Cities and agricultural fields encroach on the most fertile, habitable terrestrial landscapes,
fundamentally altering global ecosystems. Today, 75% of terrestrial ecosystems are …

The contraction of species range is one of the most significant symptoms of biodiversity loss
worldwide. While anthropogenic activities and habitat alteration are major threats for several …

SDMs are not new to conservation, but their popularity has increased dramatically in recent
years. This step-by-step review provides an overview of the efficacy of SDMs in guiding …

Species distribution modeling (SDM) is a methodology that has been widely used in the past
two decades for developing quantitative, empirical, predictive models of species …

Ecological niche models (ENMs) are crucial tools for anticipating range shifts driven by
climate change. As hypotheses of future biotic change, they can be difficult to test using …

Pleistocene climate cycles are well documented to have shaped contemporary species
distributions and genetic diversity. Northward range expansions in response to deglaciation …

Climate change will require novel conservation strategies. One such tactic is a coarse‐filter
approach that focuses on conserving nature's stage (CNS) rather than the actors (individual …

The significant extinctions in Earth history have largely been unpredictable in terms of what
species perish and what traits make species susceptible. The extinctions occurring during …
