Research overview: coupling climate and land-use projections for felids
OverviewThe most realistic forecasts of cat futures combine climate change with land-use change, since for many forest cats habitat conversion is the faster, larger threat. This overview surveys how integrate…
Research overview: detecting elevational range shifts in mountain cats
OverviewA core prediction of climate change is that mountain species will shift upslope, and detecting such shifts in elusive cats is a methodological challenge. This overview surveys the evidence and approac…
Research overview: niche conservatism and adaptive capacity in felids
OverviewWhether species can evolve or behaviorally adjust their climate niche fast enough to keep pace with change is central to predicting their fate. This overview surveys the concept of niche conservatism,…
Research overview: phenological shifts and breeding timing in wild cats
OverviewClimate change is shifting the timing of biological events, and while phenology is best studied in plants and birds, it bears on cats through their prey and reproductive timing. This overview surveys…
Research overview: protecting elevation gradients for climate-adaptive felids
OverviewProtecting continuous elevation gradients lets species shift upslope as climate warms while staying within protected habitat, a recurring strategy for montane regions. This overview surveys the ration…
