Study: Climate-only models likely underestimate species extinction

Ecologists estimate that 15 to 37 percent of plant and animal species will go extinct as a direct result of the rapidly changing climate. But new University of Arizona-led research published in the journal Ecology Letters shows that current models don’t account for the complexities of ecosystems as they are impacted by climate change. As a result, these extinction rates are likely underestimated.
