national scales. In an attempt to prioritise conservation actions for European butterflies, we …

Aim Common species contribute more to species richness patterns (SRPs) than rare species
in most studies. Our aim was to test this hypothesis using a novel model system, species …

Vegetation is composed of many individual species whose climatic tolerances can be
integrated into spatial analyses of climate change risk. Here, we quantify climate change risk …
