Aim Changes in climatic conditions are predicted to impact species distribution and hence
alter their diversity patterns. Modifications in the composition of biological communities are …

Climate change is already seen as one of the biggest threats to biodiversity in the 21st
century. Not many studies direct attention to its effects on whole communities of threatened …

Aim Habitat loss and climate change are two major drivers of biological diversity. Here we
quantify how deforestation has already changed, and how future climate scenarios may …

Climate change and habitat degradation due to land use are the key factors threatening
biodiversity. It is important to study both the separate and joined effects of climate warming …

Global climate change (GCC) is one of the most critical threats to biodiversity. We assessed
how it might disrupt the spatio-temporal diversity dimensions of avifauna associated with …

Background Global shifts in climatic patterns have been recorded over the last decades.
Such modifications mainly correspond to increased temperatures and rainfall regime …

Climate change affects biodiversity in various ways but not linearly. Mountaintop species
and ecosystems are expected to experience the strongest impacts of climate change. Lower …

We assessed the effects of global climate change as a driver of spatio-temporal biodiversity
patterns in bird assemblages associated to Neotropical seasonally dry forests (NSDF). For …

Climate change forces many species to move their ranges to higher latitudes or elevations.
Resulting immigration or emigration of species might lead to functional changes, eg, in the …

Logging is the main human disturbance impacting biodiversity in forest ecosystems.
However, the impact of forest harvesting on biodiversity is modulated by abiotic conditions …
