Under global warming,drought will reduce productivity of Pinus halepensis s.l.(subspecies halepensis and brutia)and cause a retreat from its rear edge distribu-tion(latitudinal/elevational)in the Mediterranean.To test...
Designation of critical habitat is an important conservation tool for species listed as threatened or endangered under the United States(U.S.)Endangered Species Act(ESA).While this is an important protective mechanism...

Climate refugia can serve as a remnant habitat or stepping stones for species dispersal under climate warming.The largest freshwater lake by surface area,Lake Superior,USA and Canada,serves as a model system for under...
Changing climate will jeopardize biodiversity,particularly the geographic distribution of endemic species.One such species is the Javan Hawk-Eagle(JHE,Nisaetus bartelsi),a charismatic raptor found only on Java Island,...
