Rapid range expansion and community reorganization in response to warming (2008, background): “Thus, to avoid potential biases towards the responses of common or conspicuous (i.e. historically well known) species, assessments of communitylevel responses to climate change require examination of either (1) random subsets of species or (2) entire communities (see e.g. Wilson et al., 2007).”
Global warming affects phenology and voltinism of Lobesia botrana in Spain (2010, background): “, 2007), altitudinal distribution (Konvička et al., 2003; Wilson et al., 2007), voltinism (Kiritani, 2006, 2007; Braune et al.”
Community‐level plant palatability increases with elevation as insect herbivore abundance declines (2017, background): “However, the higher temperatures associated with climate change will allow invertebrate herbivores to track climatic changes (Wilson et al. 2007) to an extent that plants cannot (Grabherr, Gottfried & Pauli 1994 but see Cannone, Sgorbati & Guglielmin 2007).”
Warmer and richer? Predicting the impact of climate warming on species richness in small temperate waterbodies (2010, background): “…richness agrees with the most commonly described trend at the regional scale – increased richness – (Iverson & Prasad, 2001; Daufresne & Boet, 2007; Buisson et al., 2008), even though a few studies reported possible trends of richness impoverishment (Walker et al., 2006; Wilson et al., 2007).”
Microclimatic buffering and resource‐based habitat in a glacial relict butterfly: significance for conservation under climate change (2009, background): “In these regions, their fragmented populations are typically trapped in altitudinal habitat providing little, or even no, opportunities to shift their regional range uphill (e.g., Wilson et al., 2007) or to the north (e.g., Warren et al., 2001; Pöyry et al., 2009).”
Rise of the generalists: evidence for climate driven homogenization in avian communities (2012, background): “…of empirical studies that have 309 demonstrated climate impacts on diversity indices (e.g. Klanderund & Birks, 2003; Menéndez 310 et al., 2006; Wilson et al., 2007; Hiddink & ter Hofstede, 2008; Britton et al., 2009) and add to 311 the relatively sparse literature documenting impacts on…”
Climate change and cyclic predator–prey population dynamics in the high Arctic (2009, background): “Possible community-level consequences of climate change call for caution in interpreting the ongoing elevational and latitudinal shifts in the ranges of a wide range of species (Wilson et al., 2007).”
Insect responses to global change offer signposts for biodiversity and conservation (2020, background): “, 2020), versus gains in relatively species-poor communities at high latitudes and elevations (Wilson et al., 2007).”
Contrasted impacts of climate change on stream fish assemblages along an environmental gradient (2009, background): “Such changes have already been observed for butterﬂies (Menendez et al. , 2006; Wilson et al. , 2007; Gonzalez-Megias et al. , 2008), freshwater macroinver-tebrates (Burgmer et al. , 2007) and freshwater and marine ﬁsh (Daufresne & Boe¨t, 2007; Hiddink & ter Hofstede, 2008) assemblages.”
Climate change hastens the turnover of stream fish assemblages (2008, background): “…with numerous studies dealing with other flora and fauna, where species having the narrowest niche were found to be the most affected by climate change in terms of habitat loss (Swihart et al., 2003; Thuiller et al., 2005a; Broennimann et al., 2006; Menendez et al., 2006; Wilson et al., 2007).”
Climate Change Effects on Insects: Implications for Crop Protection and Food Security (2014, background): “Numerous cases of recent distributional shifts have been recorded for a variety of taxa around the world (Wilson et al. 2005, 2007).”
