Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change is a prerequisite for developing effective
strategies to conserve them. The last three decades have seen exponential growth in the …

Geographic range size has long fascinated ecologists and evolutionary biologists, yet our
understanding of the factors that cause variation in range size among species and across …

We urgently need to predict species responses to climate change to minimize future
biodiversity loss and ensure we do not waste limited resources on ineffective conservation …

Understanding drivers of success for alien species can inform on potential future invasions.
Recent conceptual advances highlight that species may achieve invasiveness via …

Species turnover is ubiquitous. However, it remains unknown whether certain types of
species are consistently gained or lost across different habitats. Here, we analysed the …

Information on the ecological traits of species might improve predictions of climate-driven
range shifts. However, the usefulness of traits is usually assumed rather than quantified …

Species environmental niches are central to ecology, evolution, and global change
research, but their characterization and interpretation depend on the spatial scale …

The drivers of variability in species range sizes remain an outstanding enigma in ecology.
The theoretical expectation of a positive dispersal‐range size relationship has received …

Aim Climate and land use are key determinants of biodiversity, with past and ongoing
changes posing serious threats to global ecosystems. Unlike most other organism groups …

Can species shift their distributions fast enough to track changes in climate? We used
abundance data from the 1950s and the 2000s in Wisconsin to measure shifts in the …
