• Disentangling the drivers of context‐dependent plant–animal interactions (2014, background): “Currently, much attention has focused on predicting how geographic ranges of organisms might shift to higher latitudes and elevations given warming climate (Hill, Thomas & Huntley 1999; Parmesan 2006; Lenoir et al. 2008; Moritz et al. 2008; Tingley et al. 2009; Crimmins et al. 2011).”
• Climate Change and Species Range Dynamics in Protected Areas (2011, neutral): “Western North America has already experienced decreased snowpack (Mote et al. 2005).”
• Predicting range shifts of Asian elephants under global change (2019, background): “Warming will lead to shifts in the distributions of species pole‐ ward or to higher altitudes, mostly due to changes in temperature (Hickling, Roy, Hill, & Thomas, 2005; Moritz et al., 2008).”
• Endemic plant communities on special soils: early victims or hardy survivors of climate change? (2012, background): “The direct effects of climate change on communities via changes in temperature and precipitation have been the focus of many studies (e.g. Beckage et al. 2008; Lenoir et al. 2008;Moritz et al. 2008).”
• Small mammal responses to environmental change: integrating past and present dynamics (2014, background): “…collections and other repositories of published and unpublished sources have proven to be rich archives of baseline ecological information at the decadal to centennial timescale (Shaffer et al. 1998; Moritz et al. 2008; Myers et al. 2009; Tingley et al. 2009; Nufio et al. 2010; Rowe et al. 2010).”
• The relationship of tropical bird communities to tree species composition and vegetation structure along an Andean elevational gradient (2013, result): “…(e.g. Wilson et al., 2005; Chen et al., 2009), but responses by endothermic species have been mixed, with some studies revealing upslope shifts (Moritz et al., 2008; Tingley et al., 2009; Maggini et al., 2011) and others finding little or no evidence of shifts (Archaux, 2004; Popy et al.,…”
• Predicting species responses to climate change: demography and climate microrefugia in California valley oak (Quercus lobata) (2012, background): “…on recorded ongoing regional warming (Ladochy et al., 2007), directional species movement in multiple California systems (Kelly & Goulden, 2008; Moritz et al., 2008) and the valley oak bioclimate model (Kueppers et al., 2005), we expected to see evidence of a warming-based shift having already…”
