The speed of range shifts in fragmented landscapes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Species may be driven extinct by climate change, unless their populations are able to shift fast enough to track regions of suitable climate. Shifting will be faster as the proportion of suitable habitat in the landscape increases.

Poleward Range Shifts of Breeding Birds in Wisconsin [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionClimate change is causing shifts in the geographic ranges of multiple species across the world. Birds are a critical taxon for observing range shifts because their high mobility allows them to track shifting climates over time and space.

Climate‐related range shifts in Arctic‐breeding shorebirds [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Aim To test whether the occupancy of shorebirds has changed in the eastern Canadian Arctic, and whether these changes could indicate that shorebird distributions are shifting in response to long‐term climate change.

Range shifts are part of domestication [PDF]
Frontiers of Biogeography, 2016 The diversification of species, breeds, and landraces inherent to the domestication of useful taxa is associated with range shifts. As a result, biogeography has many opportunties to interact with new findings about domestication to add an important ...

Cultivation has selected for a wider niche and large range shifts in maize [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple crop cultivated on a global scale. However, its ability to feed the rapidly growing human population may be impaired by climate change, especially if it has low climatic niche and range lability.

Niche and Range Shifts of the Fall Webworm (Hyphantria cunea Dury) in Europe Imply Its Huge Invasion Potential in the Future [PDF]
Insects, 2023 The fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea Dury) has a strong impact on agricultural systems in Europe. However, its invasive potential, which was inherited from its native niche in North America, remains unknown.

Forecasting Range Shifts in Terrestrial Alpine Insects Under Global Warming [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAnthropogenic planetary heating is disrupting global alpine systems, but our ability to empirically measure and predict responses in alpine species distributions is impaired by a lack of comprehensive data and technical limitations.

Consequences of Range Contractions and Range Shifts on Molecular Diversity [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2011 Due to past and current climatic changes, range contractions and range shifts are essential stages in the history of a species. However, unlike range expansions, the molecular consequences of these processes have been little investigated. In order to fill this gap, we simulated patterns of molecular diversity within and between populations for various ...
