Ecological Consequences of Recent Climate Change

Abstract: Global climate change is frequently considered a major conservation threat. The Earth's climate has already warmed by 0.5 Њ C over the past century, and recent studies show that it is possible to detect the effects of a changing climate on ecological systems. This suggests that global change may be a current and future conservation threat. Changes in recent decades are apparent at all levels of ecological organization: population and life-history changes, shifts in geographic range, changes in species composit… Show more

“…Las repercusiones biogeográficas de los cambios climáticos pasados, han debido ser muy importantes sobre las especies de aves forestales de la península Ibérica, si se tiene en cuenta el importante papel que tiene la variable sintética 'días de insolación' sobre la distribución de las especies (ver Hughes, 2000;McCarty, 2001;Walther et al, 2002 para una revisión de los efectos del cambio climáti-co sobre la distribución de especies).…”

“…Current climate models estimate a 1.4-5.8 degree Celsius increase in temperature during this century [10][11][12][13]. Past and recent changes in climate have been shown to cause range shifts and contractions in plant and animal distributions [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Whether a species can survive changes in their environment is dependent on various life history characteristics.…”

“…Phenology-Effects of climate change on phenology are among the best known (McCarty 2001). Many species improve survival and reproduction by timing important biological activities like reproduction, migration, and hibernation to seasonal variations in resources and habitat conditions.…”
