The Tropics

Globally, birds have been shown to respond to climate change by shifting their elevational distributions. This phenomenon is especially prevalent in the tropics, where elevational gradients are often hotspots of diversity and endemism. Empirical evidence has suggested that elevational range shifts are far from uniform across species, varying greatly in the direction (upslope vs. downslope) and rate of change (speed of elevational shift). However, little is known about the drivers of these variable responses to climate change, limiting our ability to accurately project changes in the future. Here, we compile empirical estimates of elevational shift rates (m/yr) for 421 bird species from eight study sites across the tropics. On average, species shifted their mean elevations upslope by 1.63 ± 0.30 m/yr, their upper limits by 1.62 m ± 0.38 m/yr, and their lower limits by 2.81 ± 0.42 m/yr. Upslope shift rates increased in smaller-bodied, less territorial species, whereas larger species were more likely to shift downslope. When considering absolute shift rates, rates were fastest for species with high dispersal ability, low foraging strata, and wide elevational ranges. Our results indicate that elevational shift rates are associated with species’ traits, particularly body size, dispersal ability, and territoriality. However, these effects vary substantially across sites, suggesting that responses of tropical montane bird communities to climate change are complex and best predicted within the local or regional context.

<em>Abstract</em>.—The pumpkinseed <em>Lepomis gibbosus </em>was introduced to Europe, including England, more than 100 years ago, but relatively little is known of its potential ecological impacts on native species and ecosystems. In England, the pumpkinseed is currently established in ponds of the River Ouse (Sussex) and its flood plain. Escapee pumpkinseeds are found in some small tributaries that contain native species of conservation interest (brown trout <em>Salmo trutta</em>, brook lamprey <em>Lampetra planeri</em>, European eel <em>Anguilla anguilla</em>, European bullhead <em>Cottus gobio</em>). We used using electrofishing surveys and telemetry methods to examine the interactions between pumpkinseeds and native stream fishes (mainly brown trout), including predator–prey relationships, home range size, microhabitat preferences, home range fidelity, and habitat overlap/repartition. To assess impacts of pumpkinseed on stream food webs, a preliminary study quantified trout growth and food-web structure of a stream ecosystem (abundance of primary and secondary producers, fish, and riparian spiders) in reaches with and without pumpkinseed. Where pumpkinseeds were in high density, differences were observed in stream food-web structure, in proportional representation of fish species traits and in riparian spider community composition, but these differences cannot be attributed solely to pumpkinseed presence. From the available evidence, there appears to be little direct or indirect adverse impact of pumpkinseed on native species and the stream ecosystem when in low densities, including as a host of nonnative infectious agents. However, this could change under conditions of climate warming, which are likely to favor pumpkinseed reproduction, potentially to the detriment of native species. In a context in which freshwater ecosystems are impacted by several human and climate-induced factors acting synergistically, our results underline the need to study nonnative species impacts through a series of experimental and long-term studies of stream ecosystems.

We examine the evidence linking species’ traits to contemporary range shifts and find they are poor predictors of range shifts that have occurred over decades to a century. We then discuss reasons for the poor performance of traits for describing interspecific variation in range shifts from two perspectives: ( a) factors associated with species’ traits that degrade range-shift signals stemming from the measures used for species’ traits, traits that are typically not analyzed, and the influence of phylogeny on range-shift potential and ( b) issues in quantifying range shifts and relating them to species’ traits due to imperfect detection of species, differences in the responses of altitudinal and latitudinal ranges, and emphasis on testing linear relationships between traits and range shifts instead of nonlinear responses. Improving trait-based approaches requires a recognition that traits within individuals interact in unexpected ways and that different combinations of traits may be functionally equivalent. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, Volume 52 is November 2021.
