However, rarely are these responses evaluated simultaneously for a single species, despite their unique contributions to fully assess a species' viability.

Alternative Future Vegetation Pathways Reveal Potential Transformations of Western US Ecosystems
We used climate‐analog impact models (AIMs) to project changes in vegetation across the western United States under a mid‐21st century climate scenario, characterize ecological transformation vulnerability based on projection divergence, and demonstrate how AIMs can inform decision‐making.

We assessed behaviors of female wild turkeys during the laying period and evaluated impacts of those behaviors on nest success and female survival. We found that increased movements during laying resulted in a decreased probability of nest success but an increased probability of female survival during incubation.
