Predictions of future biological invasions often rely on the assumption that introduced
species establish only under climatic conditions similar to those in their native range. To …

Spiders (Araneae) make up a remarkably diverse lineage of predators that have
successfully colonized most terrestrial ecosystems. All spiders produce silk, and many …

Amplicon based metabarcoding promises rapid and cost-efficient analyses of species
composition. However, it is disputed whether abundance estimates can be derived from …

Based on the sensitivity of species to ongoing climate change, and numerous challenges
they face tracking suitable conditions, there is growing interest in species' capacity to adapt …

Withstanding extinction while facing rapid climate change depends on a species' ability to
track its ecological niche or to evolve a new one. Current methods that predict climate-driven …

Climate change and biological invasions are two major global environmental challenges.
Both may interact, eg via altered impact and distribution of invasive alien species. Even …

Aim The n‐dimensional hypervolume framework (Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr.[2014] 23: 595–609)
implemented through the R package'hypervolume'is being increasingly used in ecology and …

Subterranean ecosystems present ideal opportunities to study mechanisms underlying
responses to changes in climate because species within them are often adapted to a largely …

Climate change profoundly impacts ecosystems and their biota, resulting in range shifts,
novel interactions, food web alterations, changed intensities of host—parasite interactions …

Many ectothermic species are currently expanding their distributions polewards due to
anthropogenic global warming. Molecular genetic mechanisms facilitating range expansion …
