Poster Presentation: Coarse-resolution data overestimates species range shifts in response to climate change.

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….
