This study maps the distribution of 115 bird species along the east slope of the Andes in Peru and Bolivia, one of the most diverse regions on Earth.PublicationJournal ArticleThe Auk
With environmental change wreaking widespread shifts in species distribution, some plant communities will likely disappear while entirely new ones will appear within our lifetime. This reality requires an understanding of the distribution of plants species and careful definition within a consistent typological framework.PublicationJournal ArticleEcological Monographs
NatureServe provided a terrestrial and aquatic biological and physical assessment of Alaska's Chena-Tanana watershed to support EPA plans for the conservation and management of ecosystems and species and the enhancement of ecological resiliency in the face of climate change and other stresses.PublicationScientific Report

NatureServe's CCVI uses distribution and natural history information for a species within a geographical area (such as a state) to quickly estimate the the species' risk of local extirpation as a result of climate change. In Nevada, the Index is an integral part of modifications to the State Wildlife Action Plan.PublicationScientific Report
While their flights of fancy may seem insignificant, butterflies are sentinels or early indicators of this change, and can act as important messengers to raise awareness.PublicationScientific ReportNatureServe Canada
