Mammalian Distributional Responses to Climatic Changes A Review and Research Prospectus - Ecological Consequences of Climate Change - page 99

developed. some. simple. predictions. regarding. the. rate. and. magnitude. of. response,.
with.particular.emphasis.on.response.along.both.latitudinal.and.altitudinal.gradients..
In.the.second.part.of.the.chapter,.we.drew.from.studies.documenting.contemporary.
range. shifts. that. show. that. mammal. species. distributions. do. respond. to. climatic.
changes.as.predicted..However,.we.still.cannot.infer.mechanism(s).from.most.of.the.
available,.correlational.studies..That.is,.we.do.not.know.which.climatic.parameters.
are.driving.the.distributional.shift.for.any.of.the.species.that.have.been.studied..In.
the.inal.part.of.the.chapter,.we.outlined.methods.for.capturing.the.necessary.data.
and,.utilizing.the.necessary.new.techniques,.to.begin.moving.toward.more.process-
oriented.and.mechanistic.studies.in.which.the.relative.importance.of.key.factors.can.
be.quantiied.
