Translocations of Mimulus cardinalis beyond the northern range limit show that dispersal limitation can invalidate ecological niche models

Correlative ecological niche models, built with species’ occurrence records, have become the most widespread methods to forecast range shifts with climate change, but these models assume species’ range limits are driven by their niche limits. If a species range limit is instead the result of dispers...
