Climate change is likely to be an important determinant to derive change of species distribution along latitudinal gradient. Terrestrial wildlife might shift up toward higher latitude to track their optimal habitats in response to climate change. Thus, understanding whether and how species distribution shifts up along latitudinal gradients will be a predictive tool for assessing how the species will respond to climate change in near future. In this study, we reviewed range shift of various species of wildlife from literature review and predict potential range shift of various animals including invertebrates like ants and spiders in South Korea.
