Insect populations including butterflies are declining worldwide, and they are becoming an
urgent conservation priority in many regions. Understanding which butterfly species migrate …

Ecological restoration has a paradigm of re‐establishing 'indigenous reference'communities.
One resulting concern is that focussing on target communities may not necessarily create …

Species are altering their ranges as a response to climate change, but the magnitude and
direction of observed range shifts vary considerably among species. The ability to persist in …

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 …

Understanding which factors influence the ability of individuals to respond to changing
temperatures is fundamental to species conservation under climate change. We investigated …

Habitat fragmentation and climate change are both prominent manifestations of global
change, but there is little knowledge on the specific mechanisms of how climate change may …

Reliable assessment of extinction risk is a key factor in the preparation of Red Lists and in
prioritizing biodiversity conservation. Temporal population trends can provide important …

Most research on climate change impacts on global biodiversity lacks the resolution to
detect changes in species abundance and is limited to temperate ecosystems. This limits our …

Species' distributions are moving polewards in response to climate change, and although
range expansions of relatively warm‐adapted species are widely reported, reports of range …

At large scales, the mechanisms underpinning stability in natural communities may vary in
importance due to changes in species composition, mean abundance, and species …
