AbstractAs climate change accelerates, species may survive in place thanks to niche plasticity or adaptation or must redistribute to conserve their environmental niches. Examples of such geographical range shifts abound, but to date an assessment of species success in retaining niches and limiting their climate change exposure is missing.

1 INTRODUCTION Understanding and addressing the global biodiversity crisis requires large volumes of ecological information compiled continuously from across the globe (Anderson, 2018; Gonzalez et al., 2023; Meyer et al., 2015). To date, the acquisition and maintenance of this information continues to meet the requirements only insufficiently for research, conservation, and policy (Jetz et al., 2019; Oliver et al., 2021).

AbstractAs global change accelerates, accurate predictions of species distributions and biodiversity patterns are critical to prevent population declines and biodiversity loss. However, at continental and global scales, these predictions are often derived from species distribution models (SDMs) fit at coarse spatial grains uninformed by ecological processes.

Abstract Aim Species depend upon a constrained set of environmental conditions, or environmental niches, for survival and reproduction that are being increasingly perturbed or lost under rapid climatic change. Seasonal environments, which require species to withstand shifting conditions or track their niches via movement, can offer an important system to study the range of biological responses to potentially cope with climate change.
