What hope for African primate diversity (2006, background): “There is growing appreciation at the academic and policy level of the potential scale of the effect that climate change could have on African biodiversity (Hannah et al., 2002; Lovett, Barnard & Midgley, 2005a; Lovett, Midgley & Barnard, 2005b; McClean et al., 2005).”
Exploring consensus in 21st century projections of climatically suitable areas for African vertebrates (2011, background): “Speciﬁcally, McClean et al. (2005) predicted losses of suitable climate for plant species in the Guineo-Congolian forests of western and central Africa, and gains in the surrounding uplands as well as the highlands of Namibia and the South African Dra-kensberg.”
Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “A model of African responses to climate change predicted a 25–42% decrease in tropical plant species numbers by 2085 due to loss of suitable habitat [McClean et al., 2005].”
Xylem density, biomechanics and anatomical traits correlate with water stress in 17 evergreen shrub species of the Mediterranean‐type climate region of South Africa (2007, background): “This may be particularly useful in South Africa, where the region is vulnerable to changes in climate and where plant distributions and diversity are likely to be impacted (McCarthy et al. 2001; Lovett et al. 2005; McClean et al. 2005).”
How Useful Are Species Distribution Models for Managing Biodiversity under Future Climates (2010, background): “Species’ extinction risk formed a key part of Stern’s review of climate change impacts for the British government (2006), and numerous SDM studies were cited (e.g., Pearson and Dawson 2003, Thuiller et al. 2004, Thomas et al. 2004, McClean et al. 2005, Pearson et al. 2006).”
Climate, climate change and range boundaries (2010, background): “…the important determinants of species’ range boundaries, then we can expect anthropogenic climate change to generate both range expansions and range contractions, potentially threatening large numbers of species with extinction (e.g. Thomas et al., 2004; McClean et al., 2005; Malcolm et al., 2006).”
