Tracking GBIF use…

Europe use case: modelling the impact of climate change Occurrence records for 61 mammal species obtained from national databases and GBIF Based on climate scenarios for 2080, 43 out of 61 species would EXPAND range BUT depends on ability to disperse Alpine-specialists like wolverine, Arctic fox, lemming likely to suffer

Europe use case: predicting species invasion 408 occurrence records from 99 amphibian species downloaded via GBIF Compared climate conditions in introduced and native ranges Added other factors e.g. body size, reproductive habits, deliberate/accidental introduction Found that climate similarity and deliberate introduction were most important factors for species to become established
