However, past interactions between land cover, climate change, and disturbance dynamics – all of which inform…

Dr Gil Rilov1, Dr Tamar Guy-Haim1, Ohad Peleg1, Eerz Yeruham1 1Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research (IOLR), Haifa, Israel Bioinvasions and climate change can be closely linked as drivers of biodiversity change, especially in fast-warming ocean regions. In such regions, populations of natives sensitive to warming may collapse, and with them, some ecological functions may be…

Dr Gil Rilov1 1Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research (IOLR), Haifa, Israel Current and global climate change impacts, even under the most optimistic IPCC scenarios, pose a tremendous challenge to marine conservation. Species pools are shifting rapidly in many regions due to shifts in ocean isotherms, heat waves cause mass mortalities, and thermophilic aliens find it…

Prof. Patricio Pliscoff1,2, Mr. Cesar Benavidez2 1Universidad Católica de Chile, Department of Ecology, Santiago, Chile, 2Universidad Católica de Chile, Institute of Geography, Santiago, Chile One of the most common pitfalls when project range distributions using traditional correlative species distribution models (SDM) under future climate change scenarios is the lack of future projections of land use…

Mr Adrish Poddar1, Ms Poonam Chandel1, Dr Rajendra Prasad Mishra1, Dr Rahul Kaul1 1Wildlife Trust Of India, National Capital Region, India Developments in remote sensing technology have allowed to predict imminent changes, empirically translate research of a vast geographic scale and prioritise species conservation actions. Human pressure often compels and confines animals into resource-limited ‘islands’….
