Jennifer Sunday1 1 Biodiversity Research Centre, University of British Columbia, 2212 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z4, Sunday@biodiversity.ubc.ca, @jennsunday As the world has warmed, species distributions have moved polewards in latitude, upwards in elevation and deeper in depth. This global redistribution calls on ecologists to apply long-standing hypotheses about the factors that limit species distributions. Here…

The combination of these factors will undoubtedly shape the communities of the future, …

Shih-fan Chan Climate change is known to modify both climatic mean and variability. Environmental variability has long been considered an important regulator of species interactions, particularly interspecific competition. However, although increasing studies have focused on the biological impacts of changing climatic mean and variability, their interacting effects on species interaction, and hence species’ distribution, were less explored. Here, we investigate how changing thermal variation and mean …

Prof Stephen Williams The primary aim of the National Adaptation Research Plan for Terrestrial Biodiversity (NARP-TB) is to identify the research required to assist managers and policy makers of Australia’s terrestrial biodiversity systems to prepare for, and adapt to, climate change. The plan identifies knowledge gaps with respect to helping terrestrial systems adapt to climate…
