Severe decline in terrestrial insect species richness, abundance, flying biomass, and local
extinctions across Europe are cause for alarm. Here, we summarize this decline, and identify …

Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

Climate change impacts biodiversity and is driving range shifts of species and populations
across the globe. To understand the effects of climate warming on biota, long-term …

Global climate change (GCC) significantly affects distributional patterns of organisms, and
considerable impacts on biodiversity are predicted for the next decades. Inferred effects …

Intraspecific variation is a major component of biodiversity, yet it has received relatively little
attention from governmental and nongovernmental organizations, especially with regard to …

Species distribution modeling (SDM: statistical and/or mechanistic approaches to the
assessment of range determinants and prediction of species occurrence) offers new …

Living in a warming world requires adaptations to altered annual temperature regimes. In
Europe, spring is starting earlier, and the vegetation period is ending later in the year. These …

How common are cryptic species-those overlooked because of their morphological
similarity? Despite its wide-ranging implications for biology and conservation, the answer …

Recent land use changes, namely the intensification of agriculture and forestry as well as
the abandonment of traditional grassland management methods, have resulted in the …

Erosion of biodiversity generated by anthropogenic activities has been studied for decades
and in many areas at the species level, using taxa monitoring. In contrast, genetic erosion …
