We are not aware of any data to indicate whether those species can occupy climates not represented by their current distribution.
Analysis of raw climatic variables associated with occurrence points suggested that naturalized populations of I. walleriana occupy climates wetter than are found in the native range, while more controlled comparisons based on ecological niche models did not support the idea of a niche expansion in introduced populations.
For example, species that are physiologically sensitive to changes in temperature or moisture; species that occupy climate-sensitive habitats such as shallow wetlands, perennial streams, and alpine areas; and species with limited dispersal abilities will be sensitive to climate change (Root and Schneider 2002).
The combination of rapid climate change and nonnative stressors may accelerate decline of some tree species and inhibit other species from occupying climatically suitable habitat.
It is occupied by climate change activists, anarchists and opponents of the Afghanistan war.
If 15% or more of the geographical range of a species is situated within a climate zone, the species is considered to occupy that climate zone.
The ARK at JFK, its name inspired by Noah's biblical vessel, will more than measure up to terminals for humans: horses and cows will occupy sleek, climate-controlled stalls with showers, and dogs will lounge in hotel suites featuring flat-screen TVs.
Southern California (USA) populations of the intertidal marine snail Chlorostoma (formerly Tegula) funebralis generally occupy warmer climates and are exposed to high air temperatures during low tides more often than northern California populations.
BAT is present in small mammals, such as rodents, and it has been demonstrated that an increase in UCP1 synthesis in BAT plays a key role in thermogenesis for hibernating small mammals occupying colder climates (Milner et al. 1989; Li et al. 2001; Yan et al. 2006).
Up-regulation of UCP1 has been demonstrated to play a role in maintaining stable body temperature of small mammals occupying colder climates in China (Li et al. 2001), as well as hibernating arctic ground squirrels (Spermophilus parryii) from the northern portion of their range in Alaska (Yan et al. 2006).
