Regulatory Fragmentation: An Unexamined Barrier to Species Conservation Under Climate Change

Requirements for the protection or restriction of species are based on regulatory classifications such as “native” or “invasive,” which become anachronistic when climate change drives species outside of their historical geographic range. Furthermore, such regulatory classifications are inconsistent...
