Global Patterns of Climatic Niche Evolution in Angiosperms
Aim
A species' rate of climatic niche evolution may reflect its ability to survive changing climates. Yet large-scale studies of these rates remain limited. Here, we assessed global patterns in climatic niche rates among angiosperms and explored the potential drivers shaping these patterns.
Location
Global.
Time Period
Current.
Major Taxa Studied
Angiosperms.
Methods
We estimated broad-scale climatic niches for 231,567 angiosperm species based on distributional data from over 1100 sources. By integrating a published phylogeny of angiosperms, we estimated rates of climatic niche change for each extant species as the difference between its current and ancestral niche divided by the species' age. Global patterns were analysed by averaging rates for all the species found in each geographic unit. We used multiple statistical models to explore the relative contributions of niche width and climatic seasonality to shaping these geographic patterns of niche evolution. We analysed patterns of niche evolution and their underlying drivers separately for temperature-related and precipitation-related niches and for different directions of niche evolution (i.e., increases and decreases in species' temperature and precipitation niche values when compared to their most recent ancestors).
Results
Rates for temperature variables increased with latitude, whereas rates for precipitation variables decreased with latitude. These opposing patterns in temperature and precipitation rates were related to opposing latitudinal patterns in climatic seasonality and species' niche widths for temperature and precipitation. Rates also differed for different directions of niche evolution, with different patterns associated with changes to warmer vs. cooler climates and wetter vs. drier climates.
Main Conclusions
Our results revealed large-scale geographic patterns in rates of climatic niche change for temperature and precipitation for the largest clade of angiosperms and their underlying drivers. These findings may have important implications for species' abilities to respond to recent climate change.
期刊介绍:
Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) welcomes papers that investigate broad-scale (in space, time and/or taxonomy), general patterns in the organization of ecological systems and assemblages, and the processes that underlie them. In particular, GEB welcomes studies that use macroecological methods, comparative analyses, meta-analyses, reviews, spatial analyses and modelling to arrive at general, conceptual conclusions. Studies in GEB need not be global in spatial extent, but the conclusions and implications of the study must be relevant to ecologists and biogeographers globally, rather than being limited to local areas, or specific taxa. Similarly, GEB is not limited to spatial studies; we are equally interested in the general patterns of nature through time, among taxa (e.g., body sizes, dispersal abilities), through the course of evolution, etc. Further, GEB welcomes papers that investigate general impacts of human activities on ecological systems in accordance with the above criteria.
