Climate Change, Range Shifts and Multitrophic Interactions
Climate change represents one of the most serious threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The current rate of temperature change, driven primarily by the human combus‐ tion of fossil fuels, far exceeds rates that have occurred in at least 10,000 years (lower Pleisto‐ cene) and perhaps much longer (IPCC, 2014). That last major climate change event precipitated a mass extinction that l...

متن کاملHow will biotic interactions influence climate change-induced range shifts?
Biotic interactions present a challenge in determining whether species distributions will track climate change. Interactions with competitors, consumers, mutualists, and facilitators can strongly influence local species distributions, but few studies assess how and whether these interactions will impede or accelerate climate change-induced range shifts. In this paper, we explore how ecologists ...
متن کاملHow range shifts induced by climate change affect neutral evolution
We investigate neutral evolution during range shifts in a strategic model of a metapopulation occupying a climate gradient. Using heritable, neutral markers, we track the spatio-temporal fate of lineages. Owing to iterated founder effects ('mutation surfing'), survival of lineages derived from the leading range limit is enhanced. At trailing limits, where habitat suitability decreases, survival...
متن کاملRange shifts and adaptive responses to Quaternary climate change.
Tree taxa shifted latitude or elevation range in response to changes in Quaternary climate. Because many modern trees display adaptive differentiation in relation to latitude or elevation, it is likely that ancient trees were also so differentiated, with environmental sensitivities of populations throughout the range evolving in conjunction with migrations. Rapid climate changes challenge this ...
