Figure 1.
Categories of vulnerability to climate change.
The effects of climate change on a species were based on three components: exposure, sensitivity and dispersal pressure. Possible adaptation options are given for species at risk under multiple components (adapted from [40]).
Figure 2.
Modelled probability of species dispersal with distance from known records.
Under current conditions (solid line) suitability is reduced around 300 km, and extended to 630 km (2055) and 1080 km (2085) under future climate change scenarios.
Figure 3.
Percentage of species (n = 270) found to be vulnerable to climate change according to their exposure, sensitivity and predicted pressure to disperse.
Species are most vulnerable if they are at risk in all components (Category 1).
Figure 4.
Predicted suitable habitat in south-eastern Australia under current climate and 2055 and 2085 using emissions scenario RCP8.5 for Notoaeschna sagittata, Coenagrion lyelli and Petalura gigantea.
High suitability is in dark green.
