When species are forced to move: Prediction models underestimate climate-related extinction risk
Climate change threatens many plant and animal species not only when their habitats disappear as climatic conditions change, but also when those habitats shift. In a new study, a team of University of Potsdam researchers found that whether a species' habitat disappears or shifts has a significant impact on how accurately different models can predict its risk of extinction. However, this distinction is not reflected in the current standard...
