Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity (2012, background): “Other modifications of interspecific relationships (with competitors, prey ⁄ predators, host ⁄ parasites or Ecology Letters, (2012) 15: 365–377 doi: 10.1111/j.1461-0248.2011.01736.x mutualists) also modify community structure and ecosystem functions (Lafferty 2009; Walther 2010; Yang & Rudolf 2010).”
Temperature‐driven shifts in a host‐parasite interaction drive nonlinear changes in disease risk (2012, background): “Climate change has been linked to poleward range-shifts, earlier phenologies, and declining body sizes of individual species (Parmesan & Yohe, 2003; Menzel et al., 2006; Gilman et al., 2010; Walther, 2010; Gardner et al., 2011).”
Effects of altered precipitation on insect community composition and structure in a meadow steppe (2014, background): “There is a growing need to investigate the effects of climate variables on the structure and diversity of the insect community (Walther, 2010), as insects could play important roles in ecosystem functioning (Belovsky & Slade, 2000; Matt & Charlton, 2006).”
Sand temperatures for nesting sea turtles in the Caribbean: Implications for hatchling sex ratios in the face of climate change (2016, background): “The breeding phenology of migratory species is also changing in response to environmental change (e.g. McCarty, 2001; Parmesan et al., 1999; Walther, 2010).”
How climate change affects the seasonal ecology of insect parasitoids (2020, background): “…changes in overwintering strategies between hosts and parasitoids because: (i) phenology is shifting at different rates between species and trophic levels (Thackeray et al., 2016); and (ii) parasitoids and hosts may rely on different cues to initiate or terminate diapause (Walther, 2010).”
Impact of climate change on biodiversity and associated key ecosystem services in Africa: a systematic review (2018, background): “shift in cohesive and intact units and are likely to become more fragmented as they shift in response to changing climate (Walther 2010; Barnosky et al. 2011).”
Climate variation effects on fungal fruiting (2014, background): “Ecological consequences of shifts in temperature means, precipitation and drought spells have been widely reported at spatiotemporal scales, including changes in length and timing of the growing season (Parmesan and Yohe, 2003; Walther, 2010).”
Climate change may drive cave spiders to extinction (2018, background): “…of global climate change on a broad range of organisms occurring in different ecosystems and showing a very diverse pattern of distributions is well documented (Walther et al. 2002, Parmesan and Yohe 2003, Parmesan 2006, Walther 2010, Chen et al. 2011, Dawson et al. 2011, Bellard et al. 2012).”
Multiple Dimensions of Climate Change and Their Implications for Biodiversity (2014, background): “Nonanalog communities (23, 78) can arise under changing climates either when species’ individualistic responses lead to the disruption of existing interactions, or when species with nonoverlapping ranges come into contact and interact with one another (53, 79, 80).”
