Climatic change, refugia, and biodiversity: where do we go from here? An editorial comment
Abstract Climate change in the coming century will affect biodiversity at many biological levels, ranging from ecosystems to genes. Forecasting the effects of these changes, especially in the context of which species will be restricted to refugia and/or prone to extinction, is taking on increasing i...
