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 …

Climate change causes upslope shifts and mountaintop extirpations in a tropical bird community
BG Freeman, MN Scholer… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Montane species worldwide are shifting upslope in response to recent temperature
increases. These upslope shifts are predicted to lead to mountaintop extinctions of species …

The evolutionary genomics of species' responses to climate change
JA Aguirre-Liguori, S Ramírez-Barahona… - Nature Ecology & …, 2021 - nature.com
Climate change is a threat to biodiversity. One way that this threat manifests is through
