Li et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the three-dimensional range shifts in biodiversity driven by recent global warming and found that the range shifts can be attributed to human-induced global warming.Abstract:

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the gaps in our understanding of, and the challenges facing, freshwater macroinvertebrate biodiversity and conservation in tropical regions, and proposed ideas to reduce the impact of key drivers of declines in macroinveterate biodiversity, including habitat degradation and loss, hydrological alteration, overexploitation, invasive species, pollution and the multiple impacts of climate change.

Species dispersal along rivers and streams may have variable importance to metapopulation structure.
TL;DR: The framework presented highlights that the importance of riverine habitats may be quite variable in species having directional dispersal networks across the fluvial landscape in mountainous areas, and can serve as the basis to apply a mechanistic understanding to managing and protecting native populations through regional restoration actions.

Climate change and elevational range shifts: Evidence from dung beetles in two European mountain ranges
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated changes in the elevational distribution of dung beetle species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in two separate mountain regions in Europe.

A weak upward elevational shift in the distributions of breeding birds in the Italian Alps
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data from two recent atlas surveys performed on a 1 × 1 km grid at an 11-year interval (1992-94 and 2003-05) to detect evidence for an upward elevational shift of bird zonation.

TL;DR: The pristine features of four generic freshwater ecosystems, their states under current human impacts, are outlined, primarily for lay policy makers, how these states are likely to alter with a warming of 2 °C to 4 °C and what might be done to mitigate this.

TL;DR: Kirdyanov et al. as discussed by the authors used a space-for-time approach to determine the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest structure and biomass along an altitudinal transect.

Plants, birds and butterflies: short-term responses of species communities to climate warming vary by taxon and with altitude.
TL;DR: It is discussed that land-use changes or increased disturbances may have prevented alpine plant and butterfly communities from changing towards warm-dwelling species, and the findings may support the idea that for plants and butterflies and on a short temporal scale, alpine landscapes are safer places than lowlands in a warming world.
