Departments of Biology and Earth and Environmental Studies, Wesleyan University, Middletown, USA . ABSTRACT We built climate envelope models under contemporary and future climates to explore potential range shifts of the invasive Red Shiner- Cyprinella lutrensis . Our objective was to estimate aquatic habitat vulnerability to Red Shiner invasion in North America under future climatic change. We used presence records from within the species’ native and invaded distributions, a suite of ...
