Rapid adaptive responses to climate change in corals
The unprecedented rate of environmental change that characterizes the Anthropocene1 has raised concerns over whether the pace of organismal adaptation will be sufficient to mitigate projected detrimental effects on populations, communities and ecosystems2. The appearance and fixation of new adaptive genetic mutations generally requires many generations, suggesting that only organisms with short...
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 ...

متن کاملDivergence of species responses to climate change
Climate change can have profound impacts on biodiversity and the sustainability of many ecosystems. Various studies have investigated the impacts of climate change, but large-scale, trait-specific impacts are less understood. We analyze abundance data over time for 86 tree species/groups across the eastern United States spanning the last three decades. We show that more tree species have experi...
