In an epoch of rapid environmental change, understanding and predicting how biodiversity
will respond to a changing climate is an urgent challenge. Since we seldom have sufficient …

Species environmental niches are central to ecology, evolution, and global change
research, but their characterization and interpretation depend on the spatial scale …

1. Insects have emerged as causes célèbres for widespread concern about human effects
on global biodiversity. Here, we consider how insects provide opportunities both to …

Climate change is an important driver of range shifts and community composition changes.
Still, little is known about how the responses are influenced by the combination of land use …

Extreme climate events are predicted to increase in the future, which will have significant
effects on insect biodiversity. Research into this area has been rapidly expanding, but …

Although often not collected specifically for the purposes of conservation, herbarium
specimens offer sufficient information to reconstruct parameters that are needed to …

Over the past two decades, natural history collections (NHCs) have played an increasingly
prominent role in global change research, but they have still greater potential, especially for …

Global climate change has been identified as a potential driver of observed insect declines,
yet in many regions, there are critical data gaps that make it difficult to assess how …

Climate change is a major threat impacting insects globally, yet the impact on tropical
insects is largely unknown. Here, I assessed the climatic vulnerability of Bangladeshi …

Climate change is expected to have significant and complex impacts on ecological
communities. In addition to direct effects of climate on species, there can also be indirect …
