The effects of climate change on species distribution, abundance, behavior, morphology, and phenology are now well documented across a wide range of taxa (Root et al. 2002, Walther et al. 2002, Parmesan 2006. Although these impacts are widespread, some species will be more immediately vulnerable to climatic changes, depending on their sensitivity to climate (i.e., intrinsic factors such as physiological heat tolerance), adaptive capacity (i.e.,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
