Restoring local climate refugia to enhance the capacity for dispersal-limited species to track climate change

G. A. Backus, C. F. Clements, M. L. Baskett

This study simulates how restoring climate refugia can enhance species persistence under climate change by increasing spatial heterogeneity and reducing environmental stochasticity.

Quantifying the capacity for assisted migration to achieve conservation and forestry goals under climate change

Y. Zou, G. A. Backus, H. D. Safford, S. Sawyer, M. L. Baskett

This study quantifies how assisted migration affects conservation and forestry goals under climate change using a vegetation model for 23 tree species in the western US.

Comparing management strategies for conserving communities of climate-threatened species with a stochastic metacommunity model

G. A. Backus, Y. Huang, M. L. Baskett

This study evaluates management strategies for conserving climate-threatened species using a stochastic metacommunity model, finding corridors and assisted migration most effective in reducing extinction.

Identifying robust strategies for assisted migration in a competitive stochastic metacommunity

G. A. Backus, M. L. Baskett

This study evaluates assisted migration strategies in a stochastic metacommunity model, finding that relocating a fraction of a population improves persistence for species with low dispersal but risks extinction for those with narrow thermal tolerances.
