DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1761
Abstract: Warming-induced range shifts along elevational and latitudinal gradients have been observed in several species from various taxa. The mobility and behavioral plasticity of large endothermic mammals, however, complicate the detection of climatic effects on their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106888
Abstract: Abstract Mountains have provided important insights on the impacts of climate change on species distribution. Organisms living in tropical mountains are expected to specialize in narrow temperature limits (demonstrating low thermal tolerance), often with narrow… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-57868-0
Abstract: Climatic changes can induce geographic expansion and altitudinal shifts in the distribution of invasive species by offering more thermally suitable habitats. At the remote sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Islands, the predatory insect Merizodus soledadinus (Coleoptera: Carabidae), introduced… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2211531120
Abstract: Mountain ecosystems are exposed to multiple anthropogenic pressures that are reshaping the distribution of plant populations. Range dynamics of mountain plants exhibit large variability with species expanding, shifting, or shrinking their elevational range. Using a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.03458
Abstract: Climate warming has been proposed as the main cause of the recent range shifts seen in many species. Although species’ thermal tolerances are thought to play a key role in determining responses to climate change,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12898-017-0128-x
Abstract: BackgroundUnderstanding whether species’ elevational range is shifting in response to directional changes in climate and whether there is a predictable pattern in that response is one of the major challenges in ecology. However, so far… read more here.
