The expansion of urban areas is one of the most significant anthropogenic impacts on the
natural landscape. Due to their sensitivity to stressors in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats …

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 …

Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) are well-known but often poorly understood insects.
Their phylogeny and classification have proved difficult to understand but, through use of …

Ponds are among the most biodiverse and ecologically important freshwater habitats
globally and may provide a significant opportunity to mitigate anthropogenic pressures and …

Aim Poleward range shifts of species are among the most obvious effects of climate change
on biodiversity. As a consequence of these range shifts, species communities are predicted …

Aim Recent studies suggest insect declines in parts of Europe; however, the generality of
these trends across different taxa and regions remains unclear. Standardized data are not …

Insects do not live in isolation. They interact with the abiotic environment and are major
components of the terrestrial and freshwater biotic milieus. They are crucial to so many …

Climate change impacts on freshwater ecosystems and freshwater biodiversity show strong
spatial variability, highlighting the importance of a global perspective. While previous studies …

Our understanding of how biotic interactions influence animal community assembly is
largely restricted to local systems due to the difficulty of obtaining ecologically meaningful …

Insects are reportedly experiencing widespread declines, but we generally have sparse data
on their abundance. Correcting this shortfall will take more effort than professional …
