Contemporary climate change is a crucial management challenge for wildlife scientists, conservation biologists, and ecologists of the 21st century. Climate fingerprints are being detected and documented in the responses of hundreds of wildlife species and numerous ecosystems aro…
The book discusses the quantification of the magnitude and variability in short-term responses, and delineates patterns of relative vulnerability among species and community types. It offers suggestions for designing investigations and management actions, including the long-term…
Using real-world examples from diverse taxa and ecosystems, this text presents research on rapid shifts in temperature and precipitation and explains how these shifts alter the biotic landscape now and in the future.
Ecological Consequences of Climate Change: Mechanisms, Conservation, and Management.
Science tells us that life elsewhere in the Universe is increasingly likely to be discovered. But in fact the Earth may be a very unusual planet - perhaps the only one like it in the entire visible Universe. In Lucky Planet David Waltham asks why, and comes up with some surprisi…
The world's mediterranean-type climate regions (including areas within the Mediterranean, South Africa, Australia, California, and Chile) have long been of interest to biologists by virtue of their extraordinary biodiversity and the appearance of evolutionary convergence between…
"Climate Change Biology, Third Edition addresses the critical issue of how climate change may affect life on the planet, particularly its impact on ecology and conservation. The book reviews physical evidence of climate change and places those changes into perspective with respe…
