They used ecological niche modeling to calculate potential changes in the presence of 529 species in about 1/3 of the protected areas in southern Quebec almost all of which were under 50 km2 in size. Their results suggest that fifty - eighty years from now (between 2071–2100) close to half of the protected regions of southern Quebec may see a species turnover of greater than 80 %.</p> Tue, 08 May 2018 19:13:57 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 39582 at /newsroom
