How useful are thermal vulnerability indices?
To forecast climate change impacts across habitats or taxa, thermal vulnerability indices (eg,
safety margins and warming tolerances) are growing in popularity. Here, we present their …

A global review of determinants of native bee assemblages in urbanised landscapes
Loss of natural habitat through land‐use change threatens bees. Urbanisation is a major,
increasing form, of habitat loss, and a novel, pervasive form of disturbance known to impact …
