Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems.
Here, we present the most up-to-date assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity …

As climates change across already stressed ecosystems, there is no doubt that species will
be affected, but to what extent and which will be most vulnerable remain uncertain. The …

Natural history collections provide an immense record of biodiversity on Earth. These
repositories have traditionally been used to address fundamental questions in …

Anthropogenically-driven climate warming is a hypothesized driver of animal body size
reductions. Less understood are effects of other human-caused disturbances on body size …

Climatic shifts to warmer and often drier conditions are challenging terrestrial species
worldwide. These shifts are occurring more rapidly at higher elevations and latitudes, likely …

Understanding recent biogeographic responses to climate change is fundamental for
improving our predictions of likely future responses and guiding conservation planning at …

Climate change is expected to induce many ecological and evolutionary changes. Among
these is the hypothesis that climate warming will cause a reduction in body size. This …

This scientific literature contains numerous descriptions of climatic changes and their effect
on wildlife and the ecosystem. Biodiversity and climate are interconnected to each other …

Specimens and associated data in natural history collections (NHCs) foster substantial
scientific progress. In this paper, we explore recent contributions of NHCs to the study of …

One widely documented phenological response to climate change is the earlier occurrence
of spring‐breeding events. While such climate change‐driven shifts in phenology are …
