Climatic changes and 13‐year trends in stream macroinvertebrate assemblages in New South Wales, Australia (2009, background): “…Mouthon & Daufresne, 2006; Burgmer et al., 2007; Durance & Ormerod, 2007), and apparent responses to long-term climatic trends are also being seen in the phenology and distribution of freshwater macroinvertebrate species (Hickling et al., 2005; Hassall et al., 2007; Dingemanse & Kalkman, 2008).”
Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “Ubiquitous species such as Coenagrion puella and Sympetrum striolatum, however, increased and shifted their range some 300 km northwards in Britain between 1960 and 1970 and 1985–1995 (Hickling et al., 2005).”
The effects of environmental warming on Odonata: a review (2008, background): “Hickling et al. (2005) demonstrated a mean poleward shift in distributions of 74km over 35 years between 1960 and 1995, or an annual shift of 2.1km.”
Rapid northwards expansion of a forest insect pest attributed to spring phenology matching with sub‐Arctic birch (2011, background): “The most compelling evidence that climate-mediated range shifts are occurring, come from nonpest species, such as butterflies and dragonflies (Parmesan et al., 1999; Hickling et al., 2005; Wilson et al., 2005; Pöyry et al., 2009).”
Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change (2006, background): “In a study of all 37 species of resident odonates in the United Kingdom, Hickling et al. (2005) documented that 23 of the 24 temperate species had expanded their northern range limit between 1960–1995, with mean northward shift of 88 km. www.annualreviews.org • Climate-Change Impacts 647 A nn u.”
Interactions between climate and habitat loss effects on biodiversity: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2012, background): “The evidence for these changes, however, comes mostly from the documented shifts in the distributions of a few well-studied taxonomic groups (e.g. birds, butterflies and vascular plants) (e.g. Hickling et al., 2005, 2006; Sekercioglu et al., 2008).”
Latitudinal shift in thermal niche breadth results from thermal release during a climate‐mediated range expansion (2015, background): “Like many insect species, this small coenagrionid damselfly is currently rapidly expanding its geographical range northwards in Europe in response to global-warming trends (Hickling et al., 2005).”
Potential impacts of climate change on the distributions and diversity patterns of European mammals (2007, background): “…events (Crick et al. 1997; Parmesan and Yohe 2003; Root et al. 2003; Tøttrup et al. 2006) and shifts in geographic distributions—polewards (Thomas and Lennon 1999; Parmesan and Yohe 2003; Austin and Rehfisch 2005; Hickling et al. 2005) as well as towards higher elevations (Wilson et al. 2005).”
Dragonfly community re‐organisation in boreal forest lakes: rapid species turnover driven by climate change? (2008, background): “In Scandinavia, we have seen evidence of several dragonfly species expanding northward from around 1990 and onwards at higher rates than in Britain (cf. Hickling et al., 2005).”
Increasing southern invasion enhances congruence between endemic and exotic Mediterranean fish fauna (2009, background): “It appears that many species, both terrestrial and aquatic, have recently shifted their area of distribution by extending towards polar regions as a response to climate warming (Parmesan et al. 1999; Thomas and Lennon 1999; Hickling et al. 2005; Perry et al. 2005; Huntley 1991).”
Recent evidence for the climate change threat to Lepidoptera and other insects (2011, background): “Subsequently, evidence has also been presented for range shifts (Hickling et al. 2005, 2006) and phenological shifts (Gordo and Sanz 2005, 2006; Hassall et al. 2007) in other insect groups.”
Climate change and freshwater biodiversity: detected patterns, future trends and adaptations in northern regions (2009, background): “The findings for dragonflies and damselflies were strongly similar in a closer comparison of the British species: most species showed increased range sizes accompanied by northward shifts of range limits (Hickling et al., 2005).”
Predicting range shifts of Asian elephants under global change (2019, background): “…a gradient of water availability, that is, low elevation valleys in the mountains, instead of a simple unidirectional range shift towards higher elevations and latitudes typically expected when temperature is the principal factor (Hickling et al., 2005; Lawler et al., 2009; Moritz et al., 2008).”
A rapid altitudinal range expansion in the pine processionary moth produced by the 2003 climatic anomaly (2006, background): “Range expansions have been reported for a number of organisms in recent history, and appear to be, at least in part, driven by global climate change (Parmesan et al., 1999; Walther et al., 2002; Parmesan & Yohe, 2003; Root et al., 2003; Crozier, 2004; Karban & Strauss, 2004; Hickling et al., 2005; B”
