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: 10.1002/ps.7554
Abstract: BACKGROUND As an invasive pest from North America, grey squirrels (GS, Sciurus carolinensis Gmelin) are displacing native squirrels in Europe. However, the climatic niche and range dynamics of GS in Europe remain largely unknown. Through… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-017-1047-2
Abstract: Bioclimatic transition zones are supposed to encompass sensitive areas to global change effects on forest ecosystems. In this study, we attempt to detect shifts in the ranges of contrasting Iberian tree species in the submediterranean… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-51582-2
Abstract: Range shifting is vital for species persistence, but there is little consensus on why individual species vary so greatly in the rates at which their ranges have shifted in response to recent climate warming. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-78576-9
Abstract: Marcescent forests are ecotones distributed across southern Europe that host increased levels of biodiversity but their persistence is threatened by global change. Here we study the range dynamics of these forests in the Iberian Peninsula… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14772000.2017.1291542
Abstract: The leafy liverwort genus Herbertus exhibits considerably variable morphology and widely disjunct distributions in both hemispheres. Here, the biogeographic history of the genus and its phylogenetic relationships with the focus on the taxonomically difficult, northern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12391
Abstract: In spite of studies on range shifts being very abundant, the problematic of dispersal barriers limiting climate migrants' movement is yet to be fully included into any modelling framework. For this reason, we introduce a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.13024
Abstract: Global climate change (GCC) may be causing distribution range shifts in many organisms worldwide. Multiple efforts are currently focused on the development of models to better predict distribution range shifts due to GCC. We addressed… read more here.

Linking species thermal tolerance to elevational range shifts in upland dung beetles
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecography"
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: 10.1111/gcb.13935
Abstract: Criticism has been levelled at climate-change-induced forecasts of species range shifts that do not account explicitly for complex population dynamics. The relative importance of such dynamics under climate change is, however, undetermined because direct tests… read more here.
