In this session, we use a biogeographic perspective to examine responses by birds, mammals, and other vertebrates to climate, land, and other forms of environmental change. We thus invite papers addressing a) the identification and quantification of environmental changes relevant to wildlife, b) responses by wildlife to change, and c) resulting patterns of vulnerability and conservation implications for animals.
