Parallel responses of bees to Pleistocene climate change in three isolated archipelagos of the southwestern Pacific.
The impacts of glacial cycles on the geographical distribution and size of populations have been explored for numerous terrestrial and marine taxa. However, most studies have focused on high latitudes, with only a few focused on the response of biota to the last glacial maximum (LGM) in equatorial regions. Here, we examine how population sizes of key bee fauna in the southwest Pacific archipela...
متن کاملDietary responses of Sahul (Pleistocene Australia–New Guinea) megafauna to climate and environmental change
—Throughout the late Quaternary, the Sahul (Pleistocene Australia–New Guinea) vertebrate fauna was dominated by a diversity of large mammals, birds, and reptiles, commonly referred to as megafauna. Since ca. 450–400Ka, approximately 88 species disappeared in Sahul, including kangaroos exceeding 200kg in size, wombat-like animals the size of hippopotamuses, flightless birds, and giant monitor li...

متن کاملDo we need demographic data to forecast population responses to 1 climate change ?
6 Rapid climate change has generated growing interest in forecasts of future population 7 trajectories. Traditional population models, typically built using detailed demographic 8 observations from one study site, can address climate change impacts at one location, but are 9 di cult to scale up to the landscape and regional scales relevant to management decisions. 10 An alternative is to build ...
متن کاملIndependent Demographic Responses to Climate Change among Temperate and Tropical Milksnakes (Colubridae: Genus Lampropeltis)
The effects of Late Quaternary climate change have been examined for many temperate New World taxa, but the impact of Pleistocene glacial cycles on Neotropical taxa is less well understood, specifically with respect to changes in population demography. Here, we examine historical demographic trends for six species of milksnake with representatives in both the temperate and tropical Americas to ...
