The contributions of species to ecosystem functions or services depend not only on their
presence but also on their local abundance. Progress in predictive spatial modelling has …

Partial migration—wherein migratory and non‐migratory individuals exist within the same
population—represents a behavioural dimorphism; for it to persist over time, both strategies …

Understanding global patterns of biodiversity change is crucial for conservation research,
policies and practices. However, for most ecosystems, the lack of systematically collected …

It is critical that we understand the effects of climate change on natural systems if we ever
hope to predict or mitigate consequent changes in diversity and ecosystem function. In order …

Biodiversity in tropical regions is particularly high and may be highly sensitive to climate
change,. Unfortunately, a lack of long-term data hampers understanding of how tropical …

Aim Many species are showing distribution shifts in response to environmental change. We
explored (a) the effects of inter‐annual variation in winter weather conditions on non …

Most research on climate change impacts on global biodiversity lacks the resolution to
detect changes in species abundance and is limited to temperate ecosystems. This limits our …

Species' distributions are moving polewards in response to climate change, and although
range expansions of relatively warm‐adapted species are widely reported, reports of range …

Climate and land-use change could exhibit concordant effects that favor or disfavor the
same species, which would amplify their impacts, or species may respond to each threat in a …

Climate data created from historic climate observations are integral to most assessments of
potential climate change impacts, and frequently comprise the baseline period used to infer …
