Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are one of the most studied, diverse, and widespread
animal groups, making them an ideal model for climate change research. They are a …

A growing body of literature seeks to explain variation in range shifts using species'
ecological and life‐history traits, with expectations that shifts should be greater in species …

There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge
of the coupling between species range shifts and isotherm shifts remains limited. Here, we …

Local biodiversity trends over time are likely to be decoupled from global trends, as local
processes may compensate or counteract global change. We analyze 161 long-term …

Although it is widely accepted that future climatic change—if unabated—is likely to have
major impacts on biodiversity,, few studies have attempted to quantify the number of species …

The distributions of many terrestrial organisms are currently shifting in latitude or elevation in
response to changing climate. Using a meta-analysis, we estimated that the distributions of …

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 …

Species' ranges are shifting globally in response to climate warming, with substantial
variability among taxa, even within regions. Relationships between range dynamics and …

Studies have documented climate change–induced shifts in species distributions but
uncertainties associated with data and methods are typically unexplored. We reviewed 240 …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 677–689 Abstract Although some organisms have moved to
higher elevations and latitudes in response to recent climate change, there is little …
