Species distribution models rarely predict the biology of real populations

J A. Lee‐Yaw, J L. McCune, S Pironon, S N. Sheth - Ecography, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology. In theory, SDMs capture (at
least part of) species' ecological niches and can be used to make inferences about the …

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
pronounced shifts in the geographical range of species over time. To predict these shifts …

JM Donelson, JM Sunday… - … of the Royal …, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Climate change is leading to shifts in species geographical distributions, but populations are
also probably adapting to environmental change at different rates across their range. Owing …

The impact of global climate change on genetic diversity within populations and species

SU Pauls, C Nowak, M Bálint… - Molecular ecology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …
