Global change drivers are known to interact in their effects on biodiversity, but much
research to date ignores this complexity. As a consequence, there are problems in the …

People have been recording wildlife for centuries and the resulting datasets lead to
important scientific research. The Biological Records Centre (BRC), established in 1964, is a …

The topics assessed in this chapter were last assessed by the IPCC in 2007, principally in
WGII AR4 Chapters 3 (Kundzewicz et al., 2007) and 4 (Fischlin et al., 2007), but also in WGII …

Range shifting is vital for species persistence, but there is little consensus on why individual
species vary so greatly in the rates at which their ranges have shifted in response to recent …

Most multicellular terrestrial organisms experience climate at scales of millimetres to metres,
yet most species‐climate associations are analysed at resolutions of kilometres or more …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 473–484 Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is often suggested as
being important for the stability of populations, and promoted as a means to aid the …

How do species' traits help identify which species will respond most strongly to future climate
change? We examine the relationship between species' traits and phenology in a well …

There has been widespread concern that neonicotinoid pesticides may be adversely
impacting wild and managed bees for some years, but recently attention has shifted to …

Conservation science strives to inform management decisions. Applying niche models in
concert with future climate projections to project species vulnerability to extinction, range …

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