Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2C global warming is highly dangerous
|
There is evidence of ice melt, sea level rise to +5–9 m, and extreme storms in the prior interglacial period that was less than 1◦C warmer than today. Human... |

Integrating multiple lines of evidence into historical biogeography hypothesis testing: a Bison bison case study
|
One of the grand goals of historical biogeography is to understand how and why species’ population sizes and distributions change over time. Multiple types of... |

Integration and scaling of UV-B radiation effects on plants: from DNA to leaf
|
A process-based model integrating the effects of UV-B radiation through epidermis, cellular DNA, and its consequences to the leaf expansion was developed from k... |

The 2 °C dream
|
Countries have pledged to limit global warming to 2 °C, and climate models say that is still possible. But only with heroic — and unlikely — efforts. |

Status and Ecological Effects of the World’s Largest Carnivores
|
The largest terrestrial species in the order Carnivora are wide-ranging and rare
because of their positions at the top of food webs. They are some of the world... |

Predicting a change in the order of spring phenology in temperate forests
|
The rise in spring temperatures over the past half-century has led to advances in the phenology of many nontropical plants and animals. As species and populatio... |

Spatial aspects of tree mortality strongly differ between young and old-growth forests
|
In young forests, mortality should be primarily density dependent due to competition for light, leading to an increasingly spatially uniform pattern of survivi... |
