Deforestation, climate change and invasive species constitute three global threats to
biodiversity that act synergistically. However, drivers and rates of loss of freshwater …

To plan endangered species conservation and to design adequate management
programmes, it is necessary to predict their distributional response to climate change …

Global warming is expected to profoundly change the characteristics of freshwater habitats.
Increasing evaporation, lower oxygen concentration due to increased water temperatures …

Current climate change is a major threat to biodiversity. Species unable to adapt or move
will face local or global extinction and this is more likely to happen to species with narrow …

Aim We explore the relationship between current European distributions of amphibian and
reptile species and observed climate, and project species potential distributions into the …

Declaring protected areas (PAs) stands out as one of the main conservation strategies
worldwide and there are clear commitments to expand their extent under the auspices of the …

Freshwater ecosystems are among the most endangered ecosystems on Earth and are
vulnerable to climate change. Studies have shown that climate change has already altered …

Aim Refugia play a key ecological role for the persistence of biodiversity in areas subject to
natural or human disturbance. Temporary freshwater ecosystems regularly experience dry …

Climate change can impact the pattern of marine biodiversity through changes in species'
distributions. However, global studies on climate change impacts on ocean biodiversity have …

Freshwater biodiversity loss is a major concern, and global warming is already playing a
