Thermal niche, large‐scale movements and implications of climate change for a critically endangered marine vertebrate (2006, background): “What is clear is that the distribution of some organisms can be a sensitive indicator of climate change (Hughes, 2000).”
Temperature‐dependent interactions explain unexpected responses to environmental warming in communities of competitors (2004, background): “Increasing evidence suggests that recent climate warming has already affected various aspects of ecological communities, including organism phenology, species abundance and distribution, population dynamics and community- and ecosystem-level properties (reviewed in Hughes 2000; McCarty 2001; Stens”
From climate change predictions to actions – conserving vulnerable animal groups in hotspots at a regional scale (2010, background): “Climate change have been reported to affect many aspects of populations: physiology, distribution, phenology, behaviour and propensity for local extinction (Hughes, 2000; McCarty, 2002; Walther et al., 2002; Root et al., 2003; Parmesan, 2006).”
LONG‐TERM CONTRASTED RESPONSES TO CLIMATE OF TWO ANTARCTIC SEABIRD SPECIES (2005, background): “Climate changes have already affected species physiology, phenology, abundance, and distribution, and thus the structure and composition of communities (Hughes 2000).”
Long‐term changes within the invertebrate and fish communities of the Upper Rhône River: effects of climatic factors (2004, background): “More generally, shifts of species range to upper latitude or altitude due to climate change have been observed in zooplankton, invertebrates, fish, plants, butterflies, birds and mammals (Hughes, 2000; Walther et al., 2002).”
The impact and implications of climate change for bats (2013, background): “Although studies on the impact of climate change on bats are still at a preliminary stage, the changes reported to date have been alarming as current increases in temperature are only one fifth, or less, of those expected over the next century (Hughes 2000).”
Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, background): “In a recent review on the biological consequences of global warming, Hughes (2000) predicted changes by four different mechanisms: direct physiological effects, effects on the distribution of animals, phenological changes and adaptive evolution.”
Constraints and reinforcement on adaptation under climate change: Selection of genetically correlated traits (2007, background): “A second portion seeks the ecological signature of global warming as evidence that the phenomenon is occurring and to capture the short-term implications of such climate change (e.g., Crick and Sparks, 1999; Parmesan et al., 1999; Hughes, 2000; Inouye et al., 2000; McLaughlin et al., 2002; Thomas ”
Beyond Kyoto: Forest Management in a Time of Rapid Climate Change (2001, background): “Roads function as barriers to the movements of many species (Noss 1993; Noss & Csuti 1997; deMaynadier & Hunter 2000; Trombulak & Frissell 2000).”
