Abstract:Ecological niche models have been instrumental in understanding and forecasting the widespread shifts in species distributions under global change. However, growing evidence of evolution in spreading populations challenges their key assumption of niche conservatism, limiting model transferability in space and time. Climate niche evolution has been studied extensively in invasive species, but may also occur in native populations tracking climate change, when species encounter novel abiotic conditions that vary … Show more
