A climate-smart blueprint for securing Australia’s biodiversity

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr April Reside1, Mr James Tresize2, Professor James Watson1 1Green Fire Science, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, 2Australian Conservation Foundation, Canberra, Australia Australia is one of the world’s most vulnerable regions to climate change, with highly uncertain and variable rainfall across most of the continent, and…

Species redistribution along an ecoregional and coastal-marine interface: conservation and management implications.

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Mark Reynolds1, Dick  Cameron1 1The Nature Conservancy, San Francisco, United States Ecoregional boundaries contain range limits of many species and are often biodiversity hotspots and conservation priorities. The Nature Conservancy has recently protected 25,000 acres of land at Point Conception, a prominent cape along the coast of southern California at the ecoregional boundary between…

Managing for movement: tackling the national challenges associated with the redistribution of biodiversity driven by climate change

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Nathalie Pettorelli1 1Institute Of Zoology, London, United Kingdom There is a growing recognition that the redistribution of species driven by a changing climate is creating profound challenges for societies and regional economies around the globe. As well as having serious consequences for economic development, livelihoods, food security, human health and culture, species’ redistribution is…

Loss or gain? The complex role of thermophilic aliens in fast-warming seas where heat-sensitive natives collapse

ByCourtney Glancy

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…

A fast-moving target: the challenge of achieving marine conservation goals with MPAs under global change

ByCourtney Glancy

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…
