Changes to the elevational limits and extent of species ranges associated with climate change. (2005, background): “The magnitude of these declines in available habitat may be typical for species that are restricted to high elevations at their warm range margins (Stefanescu et al. 2004), or for endemic taxa that are entirely restricted to mountainous regions (Pounds et al. 1999; Williams et al. 2003).”
Determinants of the biogeographical distribution of butterflies in boreal regions (2006, methodology): “Such factors include, for example, spatial distribution of habitats, habitat management, nutritional factors and human disturbance (Hill et al., 1999; Dirnböck et al., 2003; Opdam & Wascher, 2004; Pearson et al., 2004; Stefanescu et al., 2004; Coudun et al., 2006).”
Effects of urbanization on butterfly species richness, guild structure, and rarity (2007, background): “These results are consistent with those of Ruszcyzk (1986; Ruszcyzk and DeAraujo 1992) and Stefanescu et al. (2004) who found lower species diversity with increased urbanization.”
Ecology of butterflies in Europe (2009, unknown): “, 2007) and in large-scale regions (Hawkins & Porter, 2003; Stefanescu et al., 2004).”
Interactions between climate and habitat loss effects on biodiversity: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2012, result): “Similar findings have also been reported for butterflies in the United States (McLaughlin et al., 2002) and in the Mediterranean (Stefanescu et al., 2004).”
The effect of spatial resolution on projected responses to climate warming (2012, background): “Many species are associated with locally suitable microclimates at their range margins, where the coarser-scale mean climate is less suitable than at the centres of their ranges (Thomas et al., 1999; Bryant et al., 2002; Lennon et al., 2002; Stefanescu et al., 2004).”
Effects of urbanization on species richness: A review of plants and animals (2008, background): “3=relative maximum richness, 1=relative minimum richness found in study cited Table 8 (continued) Group Urban intensity Location References Low Mid High Bats − 2 1 Michigan Kurta and Teramino 1992 Lizards 2 3 1 Arizona Germaine and Wakeling 2001 Reptile 2 1 − Belize Henderson 1976 Snakes − 2 1 Ohio ”
Assessing the vulnerability of European butterflies to climate change using multiple criteria (2010, background): “…to the spatial variation in both natural land cover types and anthropogenic land cover alterations, certain areas are less favourable for persistence of butterfly populations than others (Blair and Launer 1997; Kocher and Williams 2000; Hogsden and Hutchinson 2004; Stefanescu et al. 2004).”
Species richness of migratory birds is influenced by global climate change (2007, background): “…in terms of lost and gained range size and shifts in distribution were estimated (Skov & Svenning, 2004), and loss of diversity for Mediterranean butterfly assemblages over the coming years can be predicted under the most plausible scenarios of climate change (Stefanescu et al ., 2004).”
Mediterranean island biodiversity and climate change: the last 10,000 years and the future (2016, background): “Mediterranean butterfly species under existing climate scenarios will decrease (Stefanescu et al. 2004).”
Recent trends in butterfly populations from north-east Spain and Andorra in the light of habitat and climate change (2011, background): “…butterfly species at the northern edges of their European ranges, but negatively affect those at the southern edges of their ranges in the Mediterranean basin (e.g. Warren et al. 2001; Stefanescu et al. 2004, 2010; Menéndez et al. 2006; Wilson et al. 2007; Merrill et al. 2008; Pöyry et al. 2009).”
