“…Species range shifts lead to major changes in ecosystem structure, function and species' interactions when interacting species respond differently to climate change (Walther et al, 2002), causing predominantly negative consequences for biodiversity (Blois et al, 2013;Böhning-Gaese & Lemoine, 2004). Shifts in geographic ranges in response to anthropogenic climate change such as upward shifts in tree line and northward shifts of range boundaries have already been observed (Chen, Hill, Ohlemüller, Roy, & Thomas, 2011;Lenoir, Gégout, Marquet, de Ruffray, & Brisse, 2008;Maggini et al, 2011). For interacting species, such range shifts could lead to a mismatch of the areas where each of the species is able to persist (Kissling et al, 2010;Schweiger et al, 2012).…”
