• Impacts of recent climate change on terrestrial flora and fauna: Some emerging Australian examples (2018, background): “Understanding the links between climate, fi tness and demography improves our capacity to predict consequences for population persistence in the face of ongoing climate change (Cahill et al. 2013).”
• Climate‐induced resource bottlenecks exacerbate species vulnerability: a review (2015, background): “Changes in annual mean climatic variables, such as temperature and rainfall, are themselves not necessarily meaningful triggers for population shifts (Cahill et al., 2013).”
• Behavioral flexibility as a mechanism for coping with climate change (2017, background): “5%) attributed behavioral responses to indirect effects of climate, such as changes in food resources or microhabitat structure (Cahill et al. 2012).”
• Defining and observing stages of climate-mediated range shifts in marine systems (2014, background): “reproduction, mortality (Cahill et al., 2012), or emigration as individuals leave or avoid formerly occupied regions.”
• Improving the forecast for biodiversity under climate change (2016, background): “Species interactions Species interactions often underlie unexpected responses to climate change (10, 15), and most extinctions attributed to climate change to date have involved altered species interactions (47).”
• Physiological Basis of Climate Change Impacts on North American Inland Fishes (2016, background): “Understanding the response of fish physiology to changing climate provides a mechanistic explanation (Pörtner and Farrell 2008; Cahill et al. 2013) for higher-order population and community responses, such as altered phenology, range shifts, and biotic interactions (Lynch et al., this issue).”
• Climate Change Effects on North American Inland Fish Populations and Assemblages (2016, background): “Understanding the response of fish physiology to changing climate provides a mechanistic explanation (Pörtner and Farrell 2008; Cahill et al. 2013) for higher-order population and community responses, such as altered phenology, range shifts, and biotic interactions (Lynch et al., this issue).”
• Causes of warm‐edge range limits: systematic review, proximate factors and implications for climate change (2014, background): “Very few studies have directly examined the proximate causes of declines and extinction related to climate change (reviewed in Cahill et al., 2013).”
• Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: Impacts on ecosystems and human well-being (2017, positive): “Changes in predation dynamics, herbivory, hostplant associations, competition, and mutualisms can all have substantial impacts at the community level (16, 25).”
