As a result of selection against hybrids this mechanism may cause species-specificity in recognition systems (cf. [ 16] for frogs).
There is concern that widespread coral bleaching may cause some species to become extinct locally.
In other words, climate change leads to dispersal, which leads to more interactions/competition, which ultimately may cause more species extinctions -- a result that differs substantially from what one would get from a climate envelope-only model, where one would just determine possible places for a species to disperse due to climate change.
Global warming may cause thermophilic species of the southern Mediterranean to appear more frequently in the northern and colder parts [e.g., [19],[397]–[399]], and an increasing colonization by southern exotic species may be seen [400].
We predict that, over time, colonization pressure may cause such species to also become urban in Oslo.
Changes in availability of suitable habitat or large changes in D. ponderosae population densities may cause the species to change its dispersal behavior or mating system (Row et al., 2010), ultimately affecting genetic structure.
Here, we discuss several factors that may cause the species divergence time τ to vary over the genome and speculate on their implications to the LRT developed in this paper.
For example, certain life history and ecological factors may have caused species to become common in non-urban habitats, but may have no effect per se in promoting invasion of urban areas.
Range expansion can result in contacts between previously geographically separated species and lead to profound consequences for lineage or species evolution, as they may cause introgression between species and haplotypes sharing across species.
These studies thus challenge the view of a deep cognitive split between monkeys and apes (see also Amici et al. 2010; Tomasello and Call 1997) and suggest that differential socio-ecological pressures may have caused species differences (see also Amici et al. 2008).
Discontinuous structure in landscapes may cause discontinuous, aggregated species body-mass patterns, reflecting the scales of structure available to animal communities within a landscape.
