Description:
Lawler
and colleagues assessed the potential effects of 30 coupled atmosphere–ocean
general circulation model (AOGCM) future-climate simulations on the geographic
ranges of 2954 species of birds, mammals, and amphibians in the Western
Hemisphere. Eighty percent of the climate projections based on a relatively low
greenhouse-gas emissions scenario result in the local loss of at least 10% of
the vertebrate fauna over much of North and South America.
