Hot and bothered: Using trait-based approaches to assess climate change vulnerability in reptiles (2016, background): “Frameworks for assessing species' extinction risk, such as the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN, 2015b), have been criticised for insufficiently incorporating emerging and often slow-acting climate change threats (Keith et al., 2014; Thomas et al., 2011).”
Climate change vulnerability assessment of species (2018, background): “Quantifying thresholds for high versus low risk for each trait is also challenging, resulting in thresholds that are often arbitrary and relative (Foden et al., 2013; Pacifici et al., 2015; Thomas et al., 2011).”
Impacts of global climate change on the floras of oceanic islands – Projections, implications and current knowledge (2015, background): “In consequence, rare or spatially very restricted species are expected to be more vulnerable to climate change impacts (Ditto and Frey, 2007; Williams et al., 2008; Thomas et al., 2011; Fortini et al., 2013).”
Identifying the World's Most Climate Change Vulnerable Species: A Systematic Trait-Based Assessment of all Birds, Amphibians and Corals (2013, background): “Empirical validation that the framework and assessments are ecologically robust is of high priority [21].”
Priority Threat Management for biodiversity conservation: A handbook (2018, background): “The approach also guides experts to consider future conditions when estimating cost- effectiveness parameters (Firn, Maggini, et al., 2015), which is important in an ever- changing world (Barnosky et al., 2012; Thomas et al., 2011).”
