Sentence examples for climate tolerance from inspiring English sources

To assess the effect of climate tolerance on weed and noxious status, we included data from Plants National Database on maximum and minimum precipitation, minimum temperature, and number of frost-free days tolerances.

Many species face the prospect of their local climate changing so much that their current distribution will be outside their current observed climate tolerance.

Shifts in climate tolerance appear to have been more important in this flora than is currently appreciated, and lineages that underwent such shifts went on to contribute a high proportion of the flora's extant species diversity.

Bradley says that even if invasives enjoy intrinsic advantages like broader climate tolerances and stronger competitive abilities over natives, biological factors do not fully account for the invasives' success.

Another concern is that if drivers not considered in these models are correlated with the climate data, we may wrongly attribute species distributions to climate tolerances.

However, local genetic variation and adaptation in climate tolerances have not been previously reported.

The climate tolerances of the five species are shown in Figure 6.

Finally, climate tolerances can show substantial levels of phylogenetic conservatism, in which closely related species tend to share similar levels of heat, cold, or desiccation tolerance.

Thus, tropical species, in addition to having narrow individual climate tolerances, may also be less able to evolve increased tolerances in the face of rapidly changing climates than related temperate species.

Extensive work to date has modeled climate tolerances of organisms, including those used for biological control agents, providing predictions for geographical shifts of organisms as temperature and precipitation change (Migeon et al. 2009; Mills and Kean 2010).

Models based on long-term climate averages over-estimate availability of suitable habitat and species' climatic tolerances, masking species potential vulnerability to climate change.
