Growth, carbon‐isotope discrimination, and drought‐associated mortality across a Pinus ponderosa elevational transect (2010, background): “…constraints associated with climate (e.g. Lajtha & Getz, 1993; Adams & Kolb, 2004) and ecotone dynamics (Gitlin et al., 2006; Beckage et al., 2008; Kelly & Goulden, 2008) because temperatures are generally cooler and moisture availability greater with increasing elevation (Körner, 2007) and…”
Distributional migrations, expansions, and contractions of tropical plant species as revealed in dated herbarium records (2012, background): “…et al., 1996; Parmesan et al., 1999; Konvicka et al., 2003; Walther et al., 2005; Wilson et al., 2005; Hickling et al., 2006; Beckage et al., 2008; Kelly & Goulden, 2008; Lenoir et al., 2008; Moritz et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2011; Correspondence: Kenneth J. Feeley, Department of Biological…”
Upslope migration of Andean trees (2011, positive): “…little or no change in the distribution of individuals, but migrations may still be evident as changes in more labile indicators of abundance, such as percentage cover or basal area in the case of plants (Kelly & Goulden, 2008), or the relative performance of individuals across the species’ range.”
Going against the flow: potential mechanisms for unexpected downslope range shifts in a warming climate (2010, background): “…of the position along latitudinal (Klanderud and Birks 2003, Konvicka et al. 2003, Wilson et al. 2005, Raxworthy et al. 2008, Chen et al. 2009) or elevational (Walther et al. 2005, Pauli et al. 2007, Kelly and Goulden 2008, Lenoir et al. 2008, Vittoz et al. 2008, Lenoir et al. 2009) gradients.”
Model‐based inference for estimating shifts in species distribution, area occupied and centre of gravity (2016, methodology): “Climate change and variability have already impacted the spatial distribution of many different taxa including butterflies (Parmesan et al. 1999), plants (Kelly & Goulden 2008), bees (Kerr et al. 2015), birds (Hitch & Leberg 2007) and marine fishes (Pinsky et al. 2013).”
Drought-Induced Multifactor Decline of Scots Pine in the Pyrenees and Potential Vegetation Change by the Expansion of Co-occurring Oak Species (2010, background): “Nevertheless, research on the changes in recruitment patterns associated with drought-induced mortality in the overstory vegetation is still scarce (but see Condit 1998; Slik 2004; Kelly and Goulden 2008 ).”
Common montane birds are declining in northern Europe (2014, background): “…studies have shown rapid range shifts in alpine plants and invertebrates (Grabherr et al. 1994, Parmesan 1996, Pauli et al. 1996, Luckman and Kavanagh 2000, Wilson et al. 2005, Kelly and Goulden 2008, Chen et al. 2011, Feeley et al. 2011), studies of alpine vertebrates are to our knowledge few.”
Contemporary climate change alters the pace and drivers of extinction (2011, background): “In studies based on resampling across a gradient of sites, other taxa (butterflies, tropical fauna, temperate flora) have exhibited uphill shifts of 17–37 m per decade in average or optimum elevation during the last 10–40 years (e.g. Wilson et al., 2005; Kelly & Goulden, 2008).”
