Climate change, plant migration, and range collapse in a global biodiversity hotspot: the Banksia (Proteaceae) of Western Australia (2008, methodology): “We considered both present and future conditions because as noted by Araújo et al. (2006), the manner in which anomalies drive changes in distributions of species may vary depending on where they presently occur in environmental space.”
Improving generalized regression analysis for the spatial prediction of forest communities (2006, background): “…and environmental management (Guisan & Thuiller, 2005), yielding significant advances in hot topics such as climate change impacts (Thuiller, 2004; Araújo et al., 2006); rare species distribution (Guisan et al., in press); spread of invasive species (Peterson, 2003); habitat loss and…”
Climate change hastens the turnover of stream fish assemblages (2008, background): “In addition, because freshwater fish are spatially constrained by the dendritic nature of river ecosystems, geographic and homogenous grids commonly used for other taxa (e.g. Thuiller et al., 2005a; Araujo et al., 2006) were not appropriate.”
Geographic variation in the upper thermal limits of an intertidal snail: implications for climate envelope models. (2009, background): “These requirements are then projected onto scenarios of future climate change to predict range expansions, range contractions, and extinction risks (Thomas et al. 2004, Araújo et al. 2006).”
Integrating dispersal proxies in ecological and environmental research in the freshwater realm (2017, background): “Several attempts have been made to incorporate dispersal 565 into SDMs (e.g. Araújo et al. 2006).”
Climate, competition and connectivity affect future migration and ranges of European trees (2012, methodology): “Compared with standard SDM approaches that assume no or unlimited migration (e.g. Thomas et al., 2004; Thuiller et al., 2005; Araújo et al., 2006), our approach using realistic migration rates enabled us to deduce rules for the degree of migration limitation on individual species or species groups…”
Predicted impact of climate change on European bats in relation to their biogeographic patterns (2010, background): “When studying species’ responses to future climate change, it is important to model several future scenarios, in order to cover how each species responds to a range of climate change projections (Araújo et al., 2006; Beaumont et al., 2007).”
Climate change in Europe. 1. Impact on terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity. A review (2009, background): “The limited dispersal ability of many reptile and amphibians, coupled with the fragmentation of ecological networks, is very likely to reduce the ranges of many species (Hickling et al., 2006; Araújo et al., 2006), particularly those in the Iberian Peninsula and parts of Italy (Fig.”
How can a knowledge of the past help to conserve the future? Biodiversity conservation and the relevance of long-term ecological studies (2007, background): “These include models to determine potential range shifts in species and biomes (e.g. Woodward & Beerling 1997; Midgley et al. 2002; Berry et al. 2003; Thuiller et al. 2005; Araújo et al. 2006), as well as changes to terrestrial ecosystem structure and function (Cramer et al. 2000).”
Global warming and biodiversity: Evidence of climate-linked amphibian declines in Italy (2009, background): “Araújo and Pearson, 2005; Smith and Green, 2005) and would be further inhibited by the high levels of habitat fragmentation in Italy (Araújo et al., 2006).”
Mediterranean island biodiversity and climate change: the last 10,000 years and the future (2016, background): “Amphibians and reptiles occurring mainly in the south-west of Europe are likely to lose suitable climatic space by 2050 while the ones on the southeast will gain space (Araújo et al. 2006).”
Predicting impacts of climate change on biodiversity: a role for semi‐mechanistic community‐level modelling (2011, methodology): “In contrast, the application of SDM to all the species in a taxonomic group provides a clearer representation of climate change impacts on biodiversity for a region and has been previously applied to taxa such as birds, amphibians and reptiles in Europe (Araújo et al., 2006; Huntley et al., 2008), a”
The importance of biotic interactions for modelling species distributions under climate change (2007, background): “…‘envelope’ modelling approach, whereby present-day distributions of species are combined with environmental variables to enable projected distributions of species under future climate scenarios (e.g. Berry et al ., 2002; Peterson et al ., 2002; Thuiller et al ., 2005; Araújo et al ., 2006).”
Potential impacts of climatic change on the breeding and non‐breeding ranges and migration distance of European Sylvia warblers (2009, methodology): “…plant and nonmigratory animal species in several regions (e.g. Huntley et al., 1995, 2004; Sykes, 1997; Erasmus et al., 2002; Williams et al., 2005; Araújo et al., 2006; Thuiller et al., 2006) and for the breeding ranges of migratory birds (e.g. Huntley et al., 2006, 2007, 2008), models of the…”
Are niche‐based species distribution models transferable in space? (2006, background): “…under changing environmental conditions (Huntley, 1995; Sykes & Prentice, 1995; Guisan & Theurillat, 2000b; Bakkenes et al., 2002; Peterson et al., 2002; Dirnböck et al., 2003; Thuiller et al., 2005; Araújo et al., 2006) as well as in regions where such species do not yet occur (Weber, 2001).”
