Useful papers

Cole et al. 2011 Ecol Applic Past and ongoing shifts in Joshua tree distribution support future modeled range contraction. The future distribution of the Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia) is projected over its current range, future modeled climates, and paleoecological data showing its response to a past similar climate change. As climate rapidly warmed 11 700 years ago, the range of Joshua tree contracted, leaving only the populations near what had been its northernmost limit. Its ability to spread northward into new suitable habitats may have been inhibited by the somewhat earlier extinction of megafaunal dispersers.

Fordham et al. 2012 Global Change Biology This is the paper Helen mentioned in the team meeting.
