Related to the posts below, the latest issue (24:1) of Conservation Biology includes a Special Section on “Ecological Responses to Contemporary Climate Change within Species, Communities, and Ecosystems.”
The Section Introduction by Belant, Beever, Gross, and Lawler notes that the 7 papers in this section “provide insights from disciplines ranging from physical climatology, to community ecology, to international policy. They contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges conservation practitioners and natural resource managers face and to development of more-informed and appropriate responses to those challenges.” Timely!
The paper by Wiens and Bachelet is particularly compelling for those of us working on issues related to wildlife habitat connectivity across multiple spatial scales and jurisdictions. I am providing a link to the abstract here. If you can’t access the article, let me know. Enjoy!
