Choice of baseline climate data impacts projected species’ responses to climate change (2016)
Journal Article
Baker, D. J., Hartley, A. J., Butchart, S. H., & Willis, S. G. (2016). Choice of baseline climate data impacts projected species’ responses to climate change. Global Change Biology, 22(7), 2392-2404. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.13273

Climate data created from historic climate observations are integral to most assessments of potential climate change impacts, and frequently comprise the baseline period used to infer species-climate relationships. They are often also central to down... Read More about Choice of baseline climate data impacts projected species’ responses to climate change.

Integrating climate change vulnerability assessments from species distribution modelling and traits based approaches. (2015)
Journal Article
Willis, S., Foden, W., Baker, D., Belle, E., Burgess, N., Carr, J., …Butchart, S. (2015). Integrating climate change vulnerability assessments from species distribution modelling and traits based approaches. Biological Conservation, 190, 167-178. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2015.05.001

To accommodate climate-driven changes in biological communities, conservation plans are increasingly making use of models to predict species’ responses to climate change. To date, species distribution models have been the most commonly used approach...

Assessing climate change impacts for vertebrate fauna across the West African protected area network using regionally appropriate climate projections (2015)
Journal Article
Baker, D., Hartley, A., Burgess, N., Butchart, S., Carr, J., Smith, R., …Willis, S. (2015). Assessing climate change impacts for vertebrate fauna across the West African protected area network using regionally appropriate climate projections. Diversity and Distributions, 21(9), 991-1003. https://doi.org/10.1111/ddi.12337

Aim We conduct the first assessment of likely future climate change impacts for biodiversity across the West African protected area (PA) network using climate projections that capture important climate regimes (e.g. West African Monsoon) and mesoscal...
