Making mistakes when predicting shifts in species range in response to global warming

Article Abstract:

The 'climate envelope' approach is used in many studies seeking to forecast how species respond to climate change. The way species are distributed has an impact on how they interact with other species, and these intercations can change as a result of climate change. This means that the 'climate envelope' approach can give misleading results. Inaccuracies can also arise because species may appear to do well in locations but this is only becasue they have come from elsewhere.

Global amphibian population declines

Article Abstract:

Research describing the accepted global decline of amphibians is presented. In particular the results of earlier work are re-analysed and significantly different conclusions are drawn with regard to the reality of the mean global declines.

Quantitative evidence for global amphibian population declines

Article Abstract:

Large-scale temporal and spatial variations in amphibian population trends were studied, indicating that amphibian populations are declining.
