Abstract:Context
Efforts to adapt conservation to climate change often focus on facilitating range shifts to higher latitudes, by enhancing landscape capacity for poleward expansion. The need to protect populations at trailing edges of species distributions, and how and where to do so, has received less attention.
Objectives
We assess how population declines caused by variation over space and time in exposure to climate change can necessitate conservation adaptatio… Show more
