Range-wide latitudinal and elevational temperature gradients for the world's terrestrial birds: implications under global climate change.

Species' geographical distributions are tracking latitudinal and elevational surface temperature gradients under global climate change. To evaluate the opportunities to track these gradients across space, we provide a first baseline assessment of the steepness of these gradients for the world&#...
