Species Impacts

This study's findings findings not only support the hypothesis that climate change can drive local extinction but also foreshadow potentially widespread species losses in subalpine meadows as climate warming continues.Read More →

This paper develops an eco-physiological model of extinction risk under climate change premised on behavioral thermoregulation. Read More →

This study aimed to confirm the current conservation status of the species, to seek information about the key factor or factors responsible for the population decline and to recover any remaining individuals for a captive insurance population.Read More →

This paper pointed toward a future decline in habitat suitability for subterranean spiders and the potential extinction of the most restricted endemic species.Read More →

This study shows that (i) as many as four species of frogs face imminent extinction by 2080, due primarily to climate change;(ii) three frogs face delayed extinctions; and (iii) this extinction debt will take at least a century to be realized in fullRead More →

This study synthesized published studies in order to estimate a global mean extinction rate and determine which factors contribute the greatest uncertainty to climate change–induced extinction risks.Read More →
