Europe use case: modelling the impact of climate change

• Occurrence records for 61 mammal species obtained from national databases and GBIF

• Based on climate scenarios for 2080, 43 out of 61 species would EXPAND range

• BUT depends on ability to disperse• Alpine-specialists like wolverine, Arctic fox, lemming likely to suffer

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23285098

Europe use case: predicting species invasion

• 408 occurrence records from 99 amphibian species downloaded via GBIF

• Compared climate conditions in introduced and native ranges

• Added other factors e.g. body size, reproductive habits, deliberate/accidental introduction

• Found that climate similarity and deliberate introduction were most important factors for species to become established
