Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

Mountain areas are biodiversity hotspots and provide a multitude of ecosystem services of
irreplaceable socio‐economic value. In the European Alps, air temperature has increased at …

Declines in European bird populations are reported for decades but the direct effect of major
anthropogenic pressures on such declines remains unquantified. Causal relationships …

Here we build on the manifesto 'World Scientists' Warning to Humanity, issued by the
Alliance of World Scientists. As a group of conservation biologists deeply concerned about …

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 …

Climate warming is causing a shift in biological communities in favor of warm-affinity species
(ie, thermophilization). Species responses often lag behind climate warming, but the …

Macroclimate warming is often assumed to occur within forests despite the potential for tree
cover to modify microclimates. Here, using paired measurements, we compared the …

Insects have diversified through more than 450 million y of Earth's changeable climate, yet
rapidly shifting patterns of temperature and precipitation now pose novel challenges as they …
