Context Efforts to adapt conservation to climate change often focus on facilitating range
shifts to higher latitudes, by enhancing landscape capacity for poleward expansion. The …

Genomic data are not yet widely used in insect conservation practice. Here, with a focus on
butterflies, we aim to identify the strengths, limitations and remaining gaps between the …

Freshwater ecosystems are invaded by a non‐random selection of taxa, among which
crayfish stand out with successful examples worldwide. Species distribution models (SDMs) …

Abstract Background The harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae),
native to Asia, has been introduced to other major continents where it has caused serious …

We present the first chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the pearly heath
Coenonympha arcania, generated with a PacBio HiFi sequencing approach and …

Climate is a main driver of species distributions, but all species are not equally affected by
climate change, and their differential responses to similar climatic constraints might …

The clouded apollo (Parnassius mnemosyne) used to have a wide distribution in
Fennoscandia. Recent population declines have, however, led to regional extinctions and in …

Globally, human activities profoundly influence biodiversity, frequently favouring biological
invasions. Crayfish, prominent invaders on multiple continents, pose significant varied …

Cold‐adapted species at high elevations may be especially impacted by global warming
since they may be limited in their capacity to adapt to changing conditions or may be …

Land use change, as a result of many local-scale decisions scaling up to large spatial
extents, is considered the main threat to European butterflies. The impact of large-scale …
