Revisiting the past to foretell the future: summer temperature and habitat area predict pika extirpations in California (2015, background): “…hand, because climate gradients are relatively steep in complex topographic environments, montane species may be able to track their climate envelope by dispersing relatively short distances upslope (Loarie et al., 2009), or by exploiting topographic heterogeneity such as by shifting slope aspects.”
Effects of a simulated heat wave on photophysiology and gene expression of high- and low-latitude populations of Zostera marina (2011, background): “Although climate change is expected to force organisms to move north–south in order to stay in the same temperature (Loarie et al. 2009), it is assumed that low-latitude Z. marina populations growing in relatively warm waters, e.g. in the Adriatic Sea, will not be able to disperse around the…”
The macroecology of phylogenetically structured hummingbird–plant networks (2015, background): “…climate variables, the velocity of temperature and the velocity of precipitation, reflect the speed of change of temperature and precipitation change between the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and pre-industrial times (VT, m/year; VP, m/year), following the definition of Loarie et al. (2009).”
Europe's freshwater biodiversity under climate change: distribution shifts and conservation needs (2014, background): “Given the importance of dispersal as a key behavioural mechanism for adaption to climate change (Loarie et al., 2009), we conclude that this area of research should be a priority if we are to better understand and predict how species will respond to climate change.”
Assisted Gene Flow to Facilitate Local Adaptation to Climate Change (2013, background): “As species may be unable to disperse, establish, or adapt quickly enough to keep up with a warming climate (Davis & Shaw 2001, Loarie et al. 2009), AM has been suggested as a potential management tool for conservation and resourceproduction purposes.”
