The contribution of climate change to shifts in a species' geographic distribution is a critical
and often unresolved ecological question. Climate change in Antarctica is asymmetric, with …

Despite its ancient origin, global distribution and abundance in nearly all habitats, the class
C ollembola is comprised of only 8000 described species and is estimated to number no …

Collembola (springtails) are an early diverging class of apterygotes, and mark the first
substantial radiation of hexapods on land. Despite extensive work, the relationships …

Abstract The North‐Western Mediterranean basin is well known for its high number of
