“Climate change is not a new topic in biology. ..... Observations of range shifts 
in parallel with climate change ... date back to the mid-1700s.”

 “This review  …  deals exclusively with observed responses of wild biological 
species and systems …."

"A surprising result is the high proportion of species responding to recent, 
relatively mild climate change (global average warming of 0.6 C)."

The Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics  2006. 37: pp. 637–69.

“Climate change impacts have now been documented across every ecosystem on Earth, 
despite an average warming of only ~1°C so far."
