Keywords:

  • climate change effects on tropical birds;
  • climate change, a growing, understudied threat to tropical birds - uncertainties in extinction estimates due to lack of data;
  • climate change, most serious and widespread environmental phenomenon - of the 21st century;
  • Sekercioglu et al. (2008), relative impact of habitat loss on bird extinctions - by climate change, combining Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007 climate change scenarios with Millennium Ecosystem Assessment habitat loss scenarios;
  • species in extensive low-lying areas - facing added challenge of lack of topographical diversity;
  • family Pipridae (manakins) - endemic to the neotropical region;
  • climatic models, focused on terrestrial species - aquatic habitats facing additional watershed problems;
  • effects of life history - slow lives and reduced speed of adaptation species' ecological niches, unlikely to evolve substantially over decadal time-scales;
  • climate change, evolutionary consequences - for species to successfully adapt, fast enough to keep up with climate change;
  • deadly synergies, and major effects of climate change - in physiologically stressing organisms
