Restricted distribution is really dangerous for species. Restricted distribution enhances the chances of extinction by stochastic events. Imagine a hurricane strength storm hitting the area of New Zealand. Such a ... any other event that affects the whole of their distribution. One way to counter the effects of limited distribution might be to have rather large numbers. Actually total numbers of ...

Recent scientific discoveries hint at disastrous disruptive effects of increased CO2 concentrations on ecosystems - effects that are quite distinct from the climatic effects of this gas. Drought Drives Thirsty ... variance was explained by variation in mean winter temperature. Including these results in a stochastic model shows that an expected change in climate will strongly affect the dynamics ...
