Common montane birds are declining in northern Europe (2014, background): “In addition, current breeding population trends have been shown to mirror forecasted changes in climatic suitability in Sweden (Jiguet et al. 2013), and, likewise, 91% of the montane birds species tracked changes in their climatic niche in the Sierra Nevada mountains (Tingley et al. 2009).”
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): “, 2013), however, and a more refined expectation is that the direction of a range shift will depend upon how climate changes relative to the climatic constraints on the species range; distribution shifts are the result of species tracking the movement of their preferred climatic variable(s), such as”
The geography of climate change: implications for conservation biogeography (2010, background): “Despite these limitations, species distribution models remain a critical tool, and they can be surprisingly effective at predicting observed range shifts, at least for mobile taxa like birds and butterﬂies (e.g., Kharouba et al. , 2009; Tingley et al. , 2009).”
Do stream fish track climate change? Assessing distribution shifts in recent decades (2013, background): “…along environmental gradients were related to climate tracking through the potential time lags between climate velocity and biological responses, expecting species to have responded to climate change by modifying their ranges to remain within their preexisting climatic niche (Tingley et al. 2009).”
Observing Changing Ecological Diversity in the Anthropocene (2013, background): “By contrast, another recent study (Perrypierre et al 2012) showed that most invasive species expand into a similar climatic niche to the one they inhabit in their home range, suggesting present-day climate relationships to be robust, a conclusion also reached for birds by Tingley et al (2009).”
Avian body size changes and climate change: warming or increasing variability? (2012, background): “, 2010), geographical distributions (Tingley et al., 2009; Thomas, 2010), and population declines (Miller-Rushing et al.”
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “…2006, Parmesan & Yohe 2003), signature of environmental change on communities seems to be driven by a subset of highly responsive species (Cleland et al. 2006; Lavergne et al. 2005b, 2006; le Roux & McGeoch 2008; Miller-Rushing et al. 2008; Miller-Rushing & Primack 2008, Tingley et al. 2009).”
Functional and Phylogenetic Approaches to Forecasting Species' Responses to Climate Change (2012, background): “A substantial number of organisms have demonstrated their ability to use movement to track recent climate shifts (e.g., Tingley et al. 2009).”
Uncovering, Collecting, and Analyzing Records to Investigate the Ecological Impacts of Climate Change: A Template from Thoreau's Concord (2012, background): “In California, research in which historical observations made by Joseph Grinnell were used has yielded several important findings, including evidence of changes in the ranges of small mammals (Moritz et al. 2008) and birds (Tingley et al. 2009) in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.”
What determines the climatic niche width of species? The role of spatial and temporal climatic variation in three vertebrate clades (2013, background): “they have narrow climatic niche breadths), and this narrowness may have important implications for many research areas, including species responses to global warming (e.g. Deutsch et al., 2008; Tingley et al., 2009; Sinervo et al., 2010), the spread of invasive species (e.”
Climatic Risk and Distribution Atlas of European Bumblebees (2015, background): “Indeed, in both cases, species can respond to gradual climate change by tracking spatially or temporally their climatic niche (e.g. Tingley et al., 2009; MooLlanes et al., 2013).”
