Managing Climate Change Refugia for Climate Adaptation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Refugia have long been studied from paleontological and biogeographical perspectives to understand how populations persisted during past periods of unfavorable climate.

Evidence for climate-induced range shift in Brachystegia (miombo) woodland

South African Journal of Science, 2015
Brachystegia spiciformis Benth. is the dominant component of miombo, the sub-tropical woodlands which cover 2.7 million km2 of south-central Africa and which is coincident with the largest regional centre of endemism in Africa.

“This is what I love and this is what’s at risk”: how climate grief reveals values that inspire climate action

Ecology and Society
Climate grief, including pain and sadness related to climate change and its impacts on life and society, is increasingly recognized in global discourse about climate change and mental health.

Vegetation Ecology of Debris-Covered Glaciers (DCGs)—Site Conditions, Vegetation Patterns and Implications for DCGs Serving as Quaternary Cold- and Warm-Stage Plant Refugia

Diversity, 2022
Scientific interest in debris-covered glaciers (DCGs) significantly increased during the last two decades, primarily from an abiotic perspective, but also regarding their distinctive ecology.

Topographic Complexity Facilitates Persistence Compared to Signals of Contraction and Expansion in the Adjacent Subdued Landscape

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2022
Topographically heterogeneous areas are likely to act as refugia for species because they facilitate survival during regional climatic stress due to availability of a range of microenvironments.

Climate‐change refugia: biodiversity in the slow lane [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2020
Climate‐change adaptation focuses on conducting and translating research to minimize the dire impacts of anthropogenic climate change, including threats to biodiversity and human welfare. One adaptation strategy is to focus conservation on climate‐change refugia (that is, areas relatively buffered from contemporary climate change over time that enable ...

Refugia and the evolutionary epidemiology of drug resistance [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2015
Drug resistance is a long-standing economic, veterinary and human health concern in human and animal populations. Efficacy of prophylactic drug treatments targeting a particular pathogen is often short-lived, as drug-resistant pathogens evolve and reach high frequency in a treated population.

Contributions of fire refugia to resilient ponderosa pine and dry mixed‐conifer forest landscapes

Ecosphere, 2019
Altered fire regimes can drive major and enduring compositional shifts or losses of forest ecosystems. In western North America, ponderosa pine and dry mixed‐conifer forest types appear increasingly vulnerable to uncharacteristically extensive, high ...
