Abstract
Global climate change is expected to cause major loss of biodiversity in the next century in both terrestrial and marine systems. Climate change impacts, including warming and extreme weather events will affect life history, physiology, ecology and community and ecosystem interactions resulting in increased extinction risks for a variety of taxonomic groups.
