Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “5), there appears to be increasing evidence that elevated SST due to global warming may be the greatest threat to coral reefs globally (Hoegh-Guldberg 1999; Knowlton 2001; Walther et al. 2005; Hughes et al. 2003; Hoegh-Guldberg 2004; Pandolfi et al. 2005).”
Predicted impact of climate change on European bats in relation to their biogeographic patterns (2010, background): “…species succeed in colonizing new areas, also new ecological relationships will be forged that can change interactions and fundamental ecosystem processes in unpredictable ways (Walther et al., 2002), thus it is highly probable that several ecosystems will become disrupted (Root et al., 2003).”
The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, background): “Global mean temperature rose by about 0.6 C over the past 100 years with an accelerating trend since the 1970s, and there is increasing evidence for multiple effects of climate change on wildlife and ecosystems (e.g., Walther et al., 2002; Parmesan and Yohe, 2003).”
How biotic interactions may alter future predictions of species distributions: future threats to the persistence of the arctic fox in Fennoscandia (2012, background): “Numerous species are expected to shift their ranges polewards in future (Parmesan et al., 1999; Walther et al., 2002; Huntley et al., 2008), resulting in regional species losses and changes in the composition of species communities.”
Garden plants get a head start on climate change (2008, background): “…have already contributed to migration of native species in response to recent climate change, though there is at least some evidence that this has been the case for one native species, European holly (Ilex aquifolium, Walther et al. 2005), as well as many exotic species (Walther et al. 2002, 2007).”
Rethinking plant community theory (2004, background): “Currently, predictions of community change are based primarily on the ‘climate envelopes’ of species in which the future distribution of a species is projected from its adaptations to a particular set of climatic conditions (Davis et al. 1998, Walther et al. 2002).”
Variation in climate warming along the migration route uncouples arrival and breeding dates (2004, background): “The urgent need to understand the possible effects of global climate change on plant and animal populations has posed a major challenge for biologists (Harrington et al., 1999; Hughes, 2000; Walther et al., 2002).”
Temperature-dependent phenology and predation in arthropod systems (2006, background): “An important issue in ecological theory is to understand how increased or reduced temperature levels associated with global climate change will affect ecosystems (Walther et al., 2002), and in particular, trophic interactions (Kareiva et al., 1993; Joern et al., 2005).”
