About this book

Using real-world examples from diverse taxa and ecosystems, this book presents research on rapid shifts in temperature and precipitation and explains how these shifts alter the biotic landscape now and in the future. It highlights the general trends expected in wildlife and ecological responses, and also the exceptions and contingencies that may mediate those responses. Topics include biotic response to rapid climate change; biological and ecological relationships to climate change; monitoring ecological effects of climate change; conservation and management efforts; and ecological responses to climate change describing past trends and future needs.
