Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 74–86 Abstract As dispersal plays a key role in gene flow among
populations, its evolutionary dynamics under environmental changes is particularly …

Dispersal has recently gained much attention because of its crucial role in the conservation
and evolution of species facing major environmental changes such as habitat loss and …

Landscape simplification and habitat fragmentation may cause severe declines of less
mobile and habitat specialist species and lead to biotic homogenization of species …

This study provides a novel systematic comparative analysis of the species characteristics
affecting the range margin shifts in butterflies towards higher latitudes, while taking …

Understanding the ultimate causes of population declines and extinction is vital in our quest
to stop the currently rampant biodiversity loss. Comparison of ecological characteristics …

Dispersal ability of a species is a key ecological characteristic, affecting a range of
processes from adaptation, community dynamics and genetic structure, to distribution and …

Aim We explored the effects of prevalence, latitudinal range and spatial autocorrelation of
species distribution patterns on the accuracy of bioclimate envelope models of butterflies …

Aim To quantify whether species distribution models (SDMs) can reliably forecast species
distributions under observed climate change. In particular, to test whether the predictive …

Sown wildflower strips have been used to mitigate against the loss of farmland biodiversity
eg as a part of agri-environmental schemes. In this four-year field experiment, conducted on …

Good knowledge on how increasing urbanization affects biodiversity is essential in order to
preserve biodiversity in urban green spaces. We examined how urban development affects …
