Global change drivers are known to interact in their effects on biodiversity, but much
research to date ignores this complexity. As a consequence, there are problems in the …

Macroclimatic variation along latitudinal gradients provides an excellent natural laboratory to
investigate the role of temperature and the potential impacts of climate warming on terrestrial …

Macroclimate warming is often assumed to occur within forests despite the potential for tree
cover to modify microclimates. Here, using paired measurements, we compared the …

Changes in climate and land use are major threats to pollinating insects, an essential
functional group. Here, we unravel the largely unknown interactive effects of both threats on …

Most ecological studies of the effects of climate on species are based on average conditions
above ground level (measured by meteorological stations) averaged across 100 km 2 or …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have rapidly evolved into one of the most widely used
tools to answer a broad range of ecological questions, from the effects of climate change to …

Aim Although species distribution models (SDMs) traditionally link species occurrences to
free‐air temperature data at coarse spatio‐temporal resolution, the distribution of organisms …

In the face of climate change, populations have two survival options− they can remain in situ
and tolerate the new climatic conditions (“stay”), or they can move to track their climatic …

Elevational gradients are often used to quantify how traits of plant species respond to abiotic
and biotic environmental variations. Yet, such analyses are frequently restricted spatially …

Global forest cover is heavily fragmented. Due to high edge-to-surface ratios in small forest
patches, a large proportion of forests is affected by edge influences involving steep …
