The role of biotic interactions in shaping distributions and realised assemblages of species: implications for species distribution modelling
TLDR
It is shown that biotic interactions have clearly left their mark on species distributions and realised assemblages of species across all spatial extents, and is called for for accelerated collection of spatially and temporally explicit species data.

The Influence of Late Quaternary Climate-Change Velocity on Species Endemism
TLDR
It is shown that low-velocity areas are essential refuges for Earth’s many small-ranged species and the association between endemism and velocity was weakest in the highly vagile birds and strongest in the weakly dispersing amphibians, linking dispersal ability to extinction risk due to climate change.

Tree species distributions and local habitat variation in the Amazon: large forest plot in eastern Ecuador
1 We mapped and identified all trees ≥ 10 mm in diameter in 25 ha of lowland wet forest in Amazonian Ecuador, and found 1104 morphospecies among 152 353 individuals. The largest number of species was…

Limited filling of the potential range in European tree species
TLDR
Atlas data is used to examine the extent to which 55 tree species fill their climatically determined potential ranges in Europe and finds European tree species ranges appear strongly controlled by geographical dispersal constraints on post-glacial expansion as well as climate.

Climate-related range shifts – a global multidimensional synthesis and new research directions
Poleward and upward shifts are the most frequent types of range shifts that have been reported in response to contemporary climate change. However, the number of reports documenting other types of…

Upper thermal limits of Drosophila are linked to species distributions and strongly constrained phylogenetically
TLDR
It is suggested that this group of insects is unlikely to buffer global change effects through marked evolutionary changes, highlighting the importance of facilitating range shifts for maintaining biodiversity.

Extinction debt of high-mountain plants under twenty-first-century climate change
Quantitative estimates of the range loss of mountain plants under climate change have so far mostly relied on static geographical projections of species’ habitat shifts 1‐3 . Here, we use a hybrid…

Global late Quaternary megafauna extinctions linked to humans, not climate change
TLDR
This first species-level macroscale analysis at relatively high geographical resolution provides strong support for modern humans as the primary driver of the worldwide megafauna losses during the late Quaternary.

Glacial refugia of temperate trees in Europe: insights from species distribution modelling
1 The Pleistocene is an important period for assessing the impact of climate change on biodiversity. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 21 000 years ago), large glaciers and permafrost reached far…
