Impacts of Niche Breadth and Dispersal Ability on Macroevolutionary Patterns.
We describe a spatially explicit simulation experiment designed to assess relative impacts of macroecological traits on patterns of biological diversification under changing environmental conditions. Using a simulation framework, we assessed impacts of species' niche breadth (i.e., the range of their abiotic tolerances) and dispersal ability on resulting patterns of speciation and extinction an...
متن کاملBiologically grounded predictions of species resistance and resilience to climate change.
Cole (1) remarked [it is] “axiomatic that the reproductive potentials of existing species are related to their requirements for survival”; this logic applies to understanding species’ capacities to respond to anthropogenic climate change. Extant species reflect the ghost of environments past: species traits such as physiological performance and tolerance are evolutionary products of environment...
متن کاملFood web structure and interaction strength pave the way for vulnerability to extinction.
This paper focuses on how food web structure and interactions among species affects the vulnerability, due to environmental variability, to extinction of species at different positions in model food webs. Vulnerability is here not measured by a traditional extinction threshold but is instead inspired by the IUCN criteria for endangered species: an observed rapid decline in population abundance....
متن کاملSpecies' traits as predictors of range shifts under contemporary climate change: A review and meta-analysis.
A growing body of literature seeks to explain variation in range shifts using species' ecological and life-history traits, with expectations that shifts should be greater in species with greater dispersal ability, reproductive potential, and ecological generalization. Despite strong theoretical support for species' traits as predictors of range shifts, empirical evidence from contemporary range...
متن کاملTowards an Integrated Framework for Assessing the Vulnerability of Species to Climate Change
Essay G lobal climate change threatens global biodiversity, ecosystem function, and human well-being, with thousands of publications demonstrating impacts across a wide diversity of taxonomic groups, ecosystems, economics, and social structure. A review by Hughes [1] identified many of the ways that organisms may be affected by and/ or respond to climate change. Since then, there has been a dra...
