Data from: Systematics of the lizard family Pygopodidae with implications for the diversification of Australian temperate biotas
We conducted a phylogenetic study of pygopodid lizards, a group of 38 species endemic to Australia and New Guinea, with two major goals:to reconstruct a taxonomically complete and robustly supported phylogeny for the group and to use this information to gain insights into the tempo, mode, and timing
Wildlife Responses to Climate Change: North American Case Studies
Response of nitrogen cycling to simulated climate change: differential responses along a subalpine ecotone
SummaryIn situnitrogen (N) transformations and N availability were examined over a four‐year period in two soil microclimates (xeric and mesic) under a climate‐warming treatment in a subalpine meadow/sagebrush scrub ecotone. Experimental plots that spanned the two soil microclimates were exposed to

Gas exhange and water relations of two Rocky Mountain shrub species exposed to a climate change manipulation
Global warming and terrestrial ecosystems: a conceptual framework for analysis
raise global mean temperature over the next century by 1.0–3.5 °C (Houghton et al. 1995, 1996). Ecologists from around the world have begun experiments to investigate the effects of global warming on terrestrial ecosystems, the aspect of global climate change that attracts the most public attention
Responses of subalpine meadow vegetation to four years of experimental warming
Ecosystems at high elevations may be especially sensitive to global warming, because productivity is limited to a snow-free growing season, and warming is expected to cause earlier snowmelt. Here we report on vegetation responses to experimental warming in a subalpine meadow in the Colorado Rocky Mo
Photosynthetic responses to a climate-warming manipulation for contrasting meadow species in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA
Abstract1. Microclimate was measured and photosynthetic responses to a climate warming manipulation were compared for the evergreen shrub Artemisia tridentata and the herbaceous forb Erigeron speciosus in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA.2. Soil was warmer and drier under infra‐red heaters compare
Colorado Plateau REA Conservation Elements - Terrestrial Species: Gunnison Sage-Grouse
This map shows the potential current distribution of Gunnison sage-grouse, in the context of current and near-term terrestrial intactness and long-term potential for climate change and energy development.
TNC Fact Sheet: Managing for Change in the Gunnison Basin: Building Resilience
Our actions today to build ecosystem resilience to climate change will help us protect the Gunnison Basin’s natural resources—clean air and wildlife habitat, and the livelihoods they provide in the future for people. The Gunnison Climate Working Group, a group of public and private partners formed i
Summary Report: Gunnison Climate Adaptation Pilot Project
The Gunnison Climate Working Group is piloting a on-the-ground climate adaptation project to buildresilience of riparian areas/wet meadows – priority brood-rearing habitat – to help the Gunnison Sagegrouseand other wildlife species adapt to climate change in the Gunnison Basin. Riparian areas havebe
