Shifts in plant distributions in response to climate warming in a biodiversity hotspot, the Hengduan Mountains (2018, methodology): “…on uni-dimensional (latitude or elevation/depth) and unidirectional (poleward or upward/downward) shifts in species distributions driven by temperature alone is likely to underestimate the actual impact of climate change (Lenoir & Svenning, 2015; Pinsky et al., 2013; Vanderwal et al., 2013).”

Range shifts in response to past and future climate change: Can climate velocities and species’ dispersal capabilities explain variation in mammalian range shifts? (2018, background): “, Jackson & Overpeck, 2000; Ordonez & Williams, 2013), and species are shifting their distributions in all directions in response to recent climate change (Pinsky, Worm, Fogarty, Sarmiento, & Levin, 2013; VanDerWal et al., 2013).”
