Combining population-dynamic and ecophysiological models to predict climate-induced insect range shifts.
Hundreds of species are shifting their ranges in response to recent climate warming. To predict how continued climate warming will affect the potential, or “bioclimatic range,” of a skipper butterfly, we present a population‐dynamic model of range shift in which population growth is a function of temperature. We estimate the parameters of this model using previously published data for Atalopede...
متن کاملUsing ecosystem experiments to improve vegetation models
NATURE CLIMATE CHANGE | VOL 5 | JUNE 2015 | www.nature.com/natureclimatechange The response of the terrestrial biosphere to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca) is a major uncertainty in models projecting future climate change, because of the critical feedback between terrestrial ecosystem carbon (C) cycling and the atmosphere1–3. Current Earth system models disagree strongly on the si...
متن کاملClimate change and fire effects on a prairie–woodland ecotone: projecting species range shifts with a dynamic global vegetation model
Large shifts in species ranges have been predicted under future climate scenarios based primarily on niche-based species distribution models. However, the mechanisms that would cause such shifts are uncertain. Natural and anthropogenic fires have shaped the distributions of many plant species, but their effects have seldom been included in future projections of species ranges. Here, we examine ...
متن کاملUsing Self-Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems to Simulate Economic Models
Economic markets are complex systems. They are characterized by a large and dynamic population of firms. To deal with this complexity, we propose an adaptive multi-agent system which models a set of firms in competition with each other within a shared market. The firms are represented by agents; each firm is represented by an adaptive agent. We show the advantages of adaptive agents to represen...
متن کاملEvaluating the responses of forest ecosystems to climate change and CO2 using dynamic global vegetation models
The climate has important influences on the distribution and structure of forest ecosystems, which may lead to vital feedback to climate change. However, much of the existing work focuses on the changes in carbon fluxes or water cycles due to climate change and/or atmospheric CO 2, and few studies have considered how and to what extent climate change and CO 2 influence the ecosystem structure (...
