Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Range Shifts of Species Associated with High Levels of Climate Warming
TL;DR: A meta-analysis shows that species are shifting their distributions in response to climate change at an accelerating rate, and that the range shift of each species depends on multiple internal species traits and external drivers of change.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distributions of a wide range of taxonomic groups are expanding polewards
TL;DR: It is shown that a wide variety of vertebrate and invertebrate species have moved northwards and uphill in Britain over approximately 25 years, mirroring, and in some cases exceeding, the responses of better‐known groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid responses of British butterflies to opposing forces of climate and habitat change.

TL;DR: The dual forces of habitat modification and climate change are likely to cause specialists to decline, leaving biological communities with reduced numbers of species and dominated by mobile and widespread habitat generalists.
Journal ArticleDOI
How well do we understand the impacts of alien species on ecosystem services? A pan-European, cross-taxa assessment
Montserrat Vilà,Corina Basnou,Petr Pyšek,Melanie Josefsson,Piero Genovesi,Stephan Gollasch,Wolfgang Nentwig,Sergej Olenin,Alain Roques,David B. Roy,Phillip E. Hulme +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the financial costs of alien species in Europe, as the first step toward calculating an estimate of the economic consequences of extraterrestrial species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Losses of British Butterflies, Birds, and Plants and the Global Extinction Crisis
Jeremy A. Thomas,Mark G. Telfer,David B. Roy,Christopher D. Preston,J. J. D. Greenwood,J. Asher,Richard Fox,R. T. Clarke,John H. Lawton +8 more
TL;DR: A comparison at the national scale of population and regional extinctions of birds, butterflies, and vascular plants from Britain in recent decades is presented, strengthening the hypothesis that the natural world is experiencing the sixth major extinction event in its history.
