No-analog (ecology)

No-analog (ecology)

No-analog (variants may omit the hyphen and/or use the British English analogue), or alternately novel, climactic conditions ("no-analog climates") or biological communities ("no-analog communities") in paleoecology and ecological forecasting are those without current equivalents.[1][2][3][4]

Examples

  • Projections of future no-analog communities based on two climate models and two species-distribution-model algorithms indicate that by 2070 over half of California could be occupied by novel assemblages of bird species, implying the potential for dramatic community reshuffling and altered patterns of species interactions.[7]
