Michela Pacifici, Piero Visconti and Carlo Rondinini As rates of global warming increase rapidly, identifying species at risk of decline due to climate impacts and the factors affecting this risk have become key challenges in ecology and conservation biology. Here we present a framework for assessing three components of climate-related risk for species: vulnerability, exposure […]
Michela Pacifici, Piero Visconti, Stuart Butchart, James Watson, Francesca Cassola, Carlo Rondinini The paper ‘Species traits influenced their response to recent climate change’ has just been published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The study reviews the observed impacts of climate change on birds and mammals and aims to identify the relationships between their response […]
