Margaret Byrne Science Division, Department of Environment and Conservation, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, WA 6983, Australia, Margaret.Byrne@dec.wa.gov.au Evolutionary history is an important component of understanding species responses to historical climatic change and its influence on current distributions. The Australian biota has been significantly influenced by Pleistocene climatic oscillations that ranged from warm wet…
Camille Parmesan1 1 Plymouth University, Drakes Circus, Plymouth, Devon PL4 8AA; camille.parmesan@plymouth.ac.uk There have been several global as well as regional meta-analyses of observed impacts of anthropogenic climate change on the distributions of species around the world. I will give an overview of these results, focusing on the “big picture” trends that have emerged from…
