Understanding the patterns and drivers of species range shifts is essential to disentangle mechanisms driving species' responses global change. Here, we quantified local extinction colonization dynamics giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) using occurrence data collected by harnessing labor >1000 workers >60,000 worker days for each three periods (TP1: 1985-1988, TP2: 1998-2002, TP3: 2011-2014), evaluated how these were associated with (1) protected area, (2) rarity/abundance, (3) abiotic...

Understanding the patterns and drivers of different facets biodiversity is crucial for conservation under global environmental change. In this study, we present first assessment taxonomic, functional phylogenetic diversity 171 mammals in giant panda range their associations with climate, land use factors topographic heterogeneity. We found that showed a very pattern species richness diversity. Additionally, mammal assemblages were more functionally diverse but phylogenetically similar than...

Abstract Aim Climate and land use changes are two major pervasive growing global causes of rapid in the distribution patterns biodiversity, challenging future effectiveness protected areas (PAs), which were mainly designed based on a static view biodiversity. Therefore, evaluating for protecting species threatened by climate change is critical biodiversity conservation. Location China. Methods Here, using distributions 200 Chinese Theaceae ensemble models, we identified (i.e. with predicted...

Abstract Accurately predicting the future distribution of species is crucial for understanding how will response to global environmental change and evaluating effectiveness current protected areas (PAs). Here, we assessed effect climate land use on projected suitable habitats Davidia involucrata Baill under different scenarios using following two types models: (a) only covariates (climate SDMs) (b) (full SDMs). We found that full SDMs perform significantly better than in terms both AUC ( p...

Assessing the vulnerability of biodiversity under global climate change is one major tasks in ecology and conservation biology. Although species' to depends on habitat exposure, species sensitivity adaptability, multifaceted studies impacts are still lacking. The aim this study was fill gap by assessing giant panda with its sympatric mammal Sichuan province China, through niche factor analysis. We found that plays a greater role than exposure determining these future change, which doesn't...

Abstract Understanding and predicting how species will respond to global environmental change (i.e., climate land use change) is essential efficiently inform conservation management strategies for authorities managers. Here, we assessed the combined effect of future on potential range shifts giant pandas ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca ) in Sichuan Province, China. We used distribution models (SDMs) forecast by 2050s 2070s under four scenarios. also compared differences distributional changes among...

Abstract Theaceae is an important family in the phylogeny of angiosperm China, which are potentially threatened by future changes climatic and land use conditions. Therefore, understanding predicting isolated combined effects these two global change factors on species crucial for biodiversity conservation. Here, we assessed climate distribution shifts 95 under different scenarios comparing projections three model configurations: (1) dynamics constant variables; (2) (3) variables. We find...

While climate and land use change are commonly known to interactively affect biodiversity worldwide, their interactive effects have rarely been explored, hindering our understanding of the attribution each these two drivers. Here, we used ensemble species distribution models project potential 200 Chinese Theaceae in 2070 s under three types scenarios: (1) dynamic constant use, (2) (3) use. We further assessed single combined on assemblages China, (i.e., additive, antagonistic synergistic...

Abstract Understanding and predicting how species will respond to climate change is crucial for biodiversity conservation. Here, we assessed future impacts on the distribution of a rare endangered plant species, Davidia involucrate in China, using most recent global circulation models developed sixth Assessment Report Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC6). We potential range shifts this by an ensemble (SDMs). The SDMs exhibited high predictive ability suggested that temperature...

It is widely accepted that anthropogenic climate change driving species redistribution globally, which would potentially lead to a reshuffling of ecological communities worldwide. Here, we used tuned MaxEnt models forecast range shifts, changes in richness and turnover the giant panda with its 22 sympatric mammalian under different future scenarios. We found more than 78% these will experience contraction all scenarios, importantly, at least three were predicted lose suitable habitat pandas....

With the Sixth Mass Extinction becoming an increasingly intractable juggernaut, it is vital to understand patterns and drivers of local extinction colonization events at-risk species under global change. Here, we examine whether observed extinctions giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) during three time periods (1985-1988, 1998-2002, 2011-2014) are correlated with protected area status, rarity abiotic factors (i.e., climate land-use variables). We a decreased rate relatively stable through...
