Abstract
Peters and Darling (1985), in a pioneering paper on The Greenhouse Effect and Nature Reserves, singled out island species as a special case of geographically restricted species which are particularly vulnerable to climate change — if the latitudinal or altitudinal migration required by the climate change exceeds the limits of the island, extinction necessarily follows. They recognized a mitigating circumstance, however, in that climatic changes on oceanic islands might be relatively mild because the sea would moderate the air temperature change.
