Understanding the factors that influence the diversity and distribution of butterfly species is
crucial for prioritizing conservation. The Eastern Ghats of India is an ideal site for such a …

Aim Temperature is one of the main drivers shaping species diversity and assembly
processes. Yet, site‐specific effects of the local microclimate on species and trait …

Monitoring changes in species composition near active volcanoes is important to identify
environmental factors that maintain biological diversity after major disturbances. We …

There is considerable controversy around the patterns and processes that influence spatial
variation in taxonomic composition in mountain environments. We analysed elevational …

To understand the effects of local landscape factors on functional species composition and
phenology of butterflies across multiple spatial scales, a study was carried out in a tropical …

Greece is a European hotspot for Orthoptera (378 species), yet it has been scarcely
explored. We investigated the diversity patterns of Orthoptera and the ecological …

Inferring species' responses to climate change in the absence of long‐term time series data
is a challenge, but can be achieved by substituting space for time. For example, thermal …

Abstract Effects of elevation gradient and aspect on butterfly diversity on Galičica Mountain
in the Republic of Macedonia (south–eastern Europe). The patterns of butterfly diversity and …

We evaluated the beta diversity patterns of aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages at two
spatial scales in streams in the Eastern Amazon, as well as tested whether environmental …

Chapter I: Introduction Temperature is a major driver of biodiversity and abundance patterns
on our planet, which becomes particularly relevant facing the entanglement of an imminent …
