Introduction: Biodiversity and biodiversity-based ecosystems services are intrinsically
dependent on the climate. During the twentieth century, climate change has posed major …

Climate change is asymmetrically altering environmental conditions in space, from local to
global scales, creating novel heterogeneity. Here, we argue that this novel heterogeneity will …

Climate change is reshaping global biodiversity as species respond to changing
temperatures. However, the net effects of climate-driven species redistribution on local …

Biodiversity of insects is threatened worldwide. Here, we present a comprehensive review of
73 historical reports of insect declines from across the globe, and systematically assess the …

The distributions of many terrestrial organisms are currently shifting in latitude or elevation in
response to changing climate. Using a meta-analysis, we estimated that the distributions of …

Global warming is forcing many species to shift their distributions upward, causing
consequent changes in the compositions of species that occur at specific locations. This …

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 …

Environmental contamination research has been quite interesting in bioindicators recently.
The basic objective of bioindicator research is to find species that can reliably detect …

Climate change is predicted to become a major threat to biodiversity in the 21st century, but
accurate predictions and effective solutions have proved difficult to formulate. Alarming …

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 …
