Climate change is predicted to cause population collapse in a cooperative breeder
Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 21, Page 6002-6017, November 2023., 2023 We identified threshold effects where small additional increases in ambient temperature are predicted to disproportionately increase extinction risk. We simulated the future impacts of climate change on the dynamics of an African wild dog population in Kenya, using an individual‐based model.
