Nearly One-Tenth of Hemisphere’s Mammals Unlikely to Outrun Climate Change

The third co-author of the paper is Tristan Nuñez, now at University of California, Berkeley. Both Schloss and Nuñez worked with Lawler while earning their master’s degrees. Lawler did this work with support from the UW School of Environmental and Forest Sciences using, in part, models he previously developed with funding from the Nature Conservancyand the Cedar Tree Foundation.
