Introduction: Biodiversity and biodiversity-based ecosystems services are intrinsically
dependent on the climate. During the twentieth century, climate change has posed major …

Severe decline in terrestrial insect species richness, abundance, flying biomass, and local
extinctions across Europe are cause for alarm. Here, we summarize this decline, and identify …

Climate change affects life at global scales and across systems but is of special concern in
areas that are disproportionately rich in biological diversity and uniqueness. Using a meta …

Climate change is a critical factor affecting biodiversity. However, the quantitative
relationship between temperature change and extinction is unclear. Here, we analyze …

Climate change is asymmetrically altering environmental conditions in space, from local to
global scales, creating novel heterogeneity. Here, we argue that this novel heterogeneity will …

A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to
environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental …

Global change drivers are known to interact in their effects on biodiversity, but much
research to date ignores this complexity. As a consequence, there are problems in the …

Climate change and habitat loss are both key threatening processes driving the global loss
in biodiversity. Yet little is known about their synergistic effects on biological populations due …

There is ample evidence for ecological responses to recent climate change. Most studies to
date have concentrated on the effects of climate change on individuals and species, with …

Climate change is driving global species redistribution with profound social and economic
impacts. However, species movement is largely constrained by habitat availability and …
