Aim Many conservation efforts now focus on mitigating biodiversity loss due to climate
change. While a focus on impacts from mean, long‐term changes in climate is warranted …

BACKGROUND The pace and magnitude of human-caused global change has accelerated
dramatically over the past 50 years, overwhelming the capacity of many ecosystems and …

1. Insects have emerged as causes célèbres for widespread concern about human effects
on global biodiversity. Here, we consider how insects provide opportunities both to …

Background The central thesis of plant ecology is that climate determines the global
distribution of vegetation. Within a vegetation type, however, finer‐scale environmental …

Key to understanding the implications of climate and land use change on biodiversity and
natural resources is to incorporate the physiographic platform on which changes in …

Geodiversity—the variability of Earth's surface materials, forms, and physical processes—is
an integral part of nature and crucial for sustaining ecosystems and their services. It provides …

Protected areas (PAs) are essential to biodiversity conservation, but their static boundaries
may undermine their potential for protecting species under climate change. We assessed …

Climate change is driving a pervasive global redistribution of the planet's species. Species
redistribution poses new questions for the study of ecosystems, conservation science and …

Migrating wildlife species across the globe face a dire predicament as their traditional
migratory routes are cut off by human encroachment. Forced into smaller and smaller …

To ensure the long-term persistence of biodiversity, conservation strategies must account for
the entire range of climate change impacts. A variety of spatial prioritisation techniques have …
