Alpine areas make excellent research sites for investigating questions of plant ecology due
to harsh climatic filtering, compressed ecological/environmental gradients, limited species …

Aging is the price to pay for acquiring and processing energy through cellular activity and life
history productivity. Climate warming can exacerbate the inherent pace of aging, as …

Climate change poses a great challenge for biodiversity conservation. Several studies exist
regarding climate change's impacts on European plants, yet none has investigated how …

Retreating glaciers, icons of climate change, release new potential habitats for both aquatic
and terrestrial organisms. High‐elevation species are threatened by temperature increases …

A well-known response of biodiversity to ongoing climate change is range shifts towards
cooler temperature areas. Still, a major gap remains in the understanding of the latitudinal …

Global change in climate and land use has profound effects on species' geographic and
elevational distributions. In European birds, while species are predicted to track their climatic …

Context Biodiversity is severely decreasing at a global scale since several decades. There
are significant changes in species community compositions, reductions of species richness …

Climate‐driven biodiversity erosion is escalating at an alarming rate. The pressure imposed
by climate change is exceptionally high in tropical ecosystems, where species adapted to …

Aim Tolerance of species to extreme temperatures largely determines their distribution and
vulnerability to climate change. We examined thermal tolerance in tropical and temperate …

Climate change is predicted to dramatically affect mountain biodiversity and especially
mountain pollination systems due to the mutual dependence between plants and pollinators …
