A long snowy mountain ridge (Hochplatte) and nearby peaks in the Ammergau Alps illuminated by the setting sun, glowing bright red/orange. The summit cross on the peak on the right (Branderschrofen) is glistening brightly. It's a freezing winter day and the steep lower slopes (partially forested) in the foreground are already in the shade (deep blueish light), only some cliffs are still reflecting the sun.

Accounting for the effects of year-to-year climate variation on population growth rate can substantially decrease the size of a species' expected geographic range— by an average of 22% in this simulation study with a new method for range modeling
doi.org/10.1101/2024.10.30.621

The impacts of climate variability on the niche concept and distributions of species
Ecological demographers know that year-to-year climate variability influences the long-term growth of populations and thus their viability. Despite this, species distribution models (SDMs), widely used to project species’ geographic distributions based on climate, typically ignore inter-annual climate variability. Here, we show that climate variability plays a crucial role in determining current and future distributions of species. We achieved this by developing a new SDM framework, XSDM, tha…
