Abstract

Global climate change today includes an average warming trend (global warming) that affects the distributions of animal and plant species, both directly and indirectly (1, 2). The direct effect arises because a given species can survive or maintain itself only up to and down to its own characteristic maximum and minimum environmental temperature, respectively. In addition, temperature may limit species ranges indirectly by controlling distributions of other species on which a given species depends.
