Mr Ian Ondo1, Mr Samuel Pironon1 1Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, London, United Kingdom Abstract: Factors shaping species distribution vary in space and time and operate at different geographic scales. Understanding and anticipating changes in species ranges is a major challenge for biogeographers and conservation biologists, especially in the context of global change. Species Distribution Models…

Dr Ilya Maclean, Miss Brittany Trew 1University Of Exeter, Penryn, United Kingdom Abstract: Over the last two decades bioclimate models have been widely used to predict distribution shifts in response to climate change. For many species, places with suitable climate are predicted to lie outside their current range, implying catastrophic consequences for life on earth….
