Climate change that stimulates tree growth can make smaller trees produce more seeds per year, but also can render larger trees less able to reproduce.Read More →

Shifts in global bat diversity suggest a possible role of climate change in the emergence of SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2

Published:January 2021

Author(s):Robert M. Beyer, Andrea Manica & Camilo Mora

Publisher:Science of the Total Environment

The number of coronaviruses in an area is strongly correlated with local bat species richness, which in turn is affected by climatic conditions. Climate change may have played a key role in the evolution or transmission of the two SARS CoVs.Read More →

Extinction risk assessment of a Patagonian ungulate using population dynamics models under climate change scenarios

Published:July 2020

Author(s):Carlos Riquelme, Sergio A. Estay, Rafael Contreras, Paulo Corti

Publisher:International Journal of Biometeorology

Huemul population is currently in a quasi-extinction process, with extinction probabilities increasing with climate change.These results are crucial for conservation of species like huemul that have low densities and are threatened by climate change.Read More →

Recent responses to climate change reveal the drivers of species extinction and survival

Published:February 2020

Author(s):Cristian Román-Palacios, John J. Wiens

Publisher:PNAS

This study addresses the specific changes in climate that were associated with recent population extinctions, using data from 538 plant and animal species distributed globally. Read More →

Climate change contributes to widespread declines among bumble bees across continents

Published:February 2020

Author(s):Peter Soroye, Tim Newbold, Jeremy Kerr

Publisher:Science

Using long-term data for 66 bumble bee species across North America and Europe, the study tested whether this mechanism altered likelihoods of bumble bee species’ extinction or colonization. Read More →

Climate-human interaction associated with southeast Australian megafauna extinction patterns

Published:November 2019

Author(s):Frédérik Saltré, Joël Chadoeuf, Katharina J. Peters, Matthew C. McDowell, Tobias Friedrich, Axel Timmermann, Sean Ulm & Corey J. A. Bradshaw

Climate change causes upslope shifts and mountaintop extirpations in a tropical bird community

Published:November 2018

Author(s):Benjamin G. Freeman, Micah N. Scholer, Viviana Ruiz-Gutierrez, John W. Fitzpatrick

Publisher:PNAS

This study suggests that high-elevation species in the tropics are particularly vulnerable to climate change. The study shows that recent warming does indeed act as an escalator to extinction for birds that live on a remote Peruvian mountain.Read More →
