To predict the consequences of human-induced global climate change, we need to
understand how climate is linked to biogeography. Energetic constraints are commonly …

The most commonly reported ecological effects of climate change are shifts in phenologies,
in particular of warmer spring temperatures leading to earlier timing of key events,. Among …

Global climate change is expected to have strong effects on the world's flora and fauna. As a
result, there has been a recent increase in the number of meta-analyses and mechanistic …

Estimating survival rates of naturally hibernating mammals is important for ecological and
conservation reasons, but empirical estimates are logistically difficult to obtain. Individual …

Increasing concern about the impacts of global warming on biodiversity has stimulated
extensive discussion, but methods to translate broad-scale shifts in climate into direct …

The redistribution of life on Earth has emerged as one of the most significant biological
responses to anthropogenic climate warming,,. Despite being one of the most long-standing …

Despite decades of research, the roles of climate and humans in driving the dramatic
extinctions of large-bodied mammals during the Late Quaternary period remain contentious …

Insects have a pivotal role in ecosystem function, thus the decline of more than 75% in insect
biomass in protected areas over recent decades in Central Europe and elsewhere, has …
