Regional variation in climate change winners and losers highlights the rapid loss of cold‐dwelling species (2016, background): “Additionally, those studies that have examined shifts in species range margins have found greater evidence for range expansions (Thomas, 2010).”
Impacts of global climate change on the floras of oceanic islands – Projections, implications and current knowledge (2015, background): “The role of area and habitat space for intra-island range shifts Species’ distributions and abundances depend on climatic factors, forcing species to track their climatic demands by range shifts during periods of climate changes (Parmesan, 2006; Thomas, 2010).”
Ontario freshwater fishes demonstrate differing range‐boundary shifts in a warming climate (2014, background): “Climate change provides a natural experiment for testing what factors determine species range limits (Parmesan et al., 2005; Hickling et al., 2006; Thomas, 2010).”
Insect responses to global change offer signposts for biodiversity and conservation (2020, background): “Therefore, although documented trends in insect abundance, diversity, and distributions are consistent with the expected effects of global climate change, allowing inferences to be drawn about likely drivers (e.g. Warren et al., 2001; Thomas, 2010; Fox et al., 2014), combining a range of approaches ”
Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Ecosystem Services in Europe: The Case of Pest Control by Vertebrates (2012, background): “Climatic conditions are known to determine the geographical distributions of species at broad spatial scales (see Thomas 2010 for a review).”
Dispersal response to climate change: scaling down to intraspecific variation (2015, background): “Indeed, a recent study showed that 68 % of all species have expanded their range polewards due to climate change (Thomas 2010), while numerous range retractions at the southern margins have also been witnessed (Thomas et al. 2006).”
Drought-driven change in wildlife distribution and numbers: a case study of koalas in south west Queensland (2011, background): “During the process of climate-induced range shifts, trailing edge populations become increasingly fragmented, while leading edge populations tend to expand along a broad front (Thomas 2010).”
Uses and misuses of bioclimatic envelope modeling. (2012, background): “These criticisms are bold, as they fly in the face of the long- established idea that climate governs species’ ranges at broad extents (e.g., Von Humboldt and Bonpland 1805, Whittaker 1975, Woodward and Williams 1987, Gaston 2003, Thomas 2010).”
Physiological Basis of Climate Change Impacts on North American Inland Fishes (2016, background): “The extrinsic effects of climate change on fish physiology varies according to a population’s position within the species’ overall range (Box 3); populations near the colder upper latitudinal or elevational limits may expand their ranges poleward or upslope as warming results in thermal conditions b”
The evolution of viviparity opens opportunities for lizard radiation but drives it into a climatic cul‐de‐sac (2013, background): “Additionally, the negative impacts of range restrictions may be compounded by competitive invasions of oviparous species from warmer environments following these thermal displacements (Huey et al., 2010; Sinervo et al., 2010; Thomas, 2010).”
Comparative genetic responses to climate for the varieties of Pinus ponderosa and Pseudotsuga menziesii: Realized climate niches (2014, background): “As climate-change progresses, disruption of species distributions is inevitable (see Thomas, 2010), but the impact will vary among species largely because of intraspecific clines of different steepness (Rehfeldt, 1994; Sorensen and Weber, 1994).”
Conserving the Brazilian semiarid (Caatinga) biome under climate change (2012, background): “If such a scenario was verified, it would be possible that new predators, parasites, and competitors could invade the Caatinga thus threatening local endemics (e.g., Kleinbauer et al. 2010; Thomas 2010).”
Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research (2013, background): “…impacts on body size (e.g. Morgan et al., 1995; Sheridan and Bickford, 2011), range 101Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research shifts and invasions (e.g. Parmesan et al., 1999; Thomas, 2010), and phenology (e.g. Stevenson and Bryant, 2000; Walther et al., 2002).”
Paintings predict the distribution of species, or the challenge of selecting environmental predictors and evaluation statistics (2018, background): “We note, however, that many historical (von Humboldt & Bonpland, 1805; Wallace, 1876) and modern (Ara ujo & Peterson, 2012; Jim enez-Valverde, Barve et al., 2011; Thomas, 2010) empirical pieces of evidence demonstrate that climate plays a primary role in shaping species’ distributions not least of w”
