Plants existing in small and isolated populations often depend on microclimatic refugia that
create local environments buffered from macroclimatic conditions. Currently much effort is …

Invasive species have tremendous detrimental ecological and economic impacts. Climate
change may exacerbate species invasions across communities if non-native species are …

Biodiversity hotspots host a high diversity of narrowly distributed endemic species, which are
increasingly threatened by climate change. In eastern North America, the highest …

PREMISE Shifting phenology in response to climate is one mechanism that can promote
population persistence and geographic spread; therefore, species with limited ability to …

Climate changes impose requirements for many species to shift their ranges to remain within
environmentally tolerable areas, but near‐continuous regions of intense human land use …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY The unique geography of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington
State, USA has promoted a flora with exceptional endemism that may face high rates of …

Native and nonnative plant species can exhibit differences in the timing of their reproductive
phenology and their phenological sensitivity to climate. These contrasts may influence …

Areas hosting hotspots of low‐latitude marginal populations of cold‐adapted plant species
could be key areas for understanding geographical attributes that result in refugia during …

The threat of global warming to rare species is a growing concern, yet few studies have
predicted its effects on rare populations. Using demographic data gathered in both drought …

With ongoing climate change, populations are expected to exhibit shifts in demographic
performance that will alter where a species can persist. This presents unique challenges for …
