Extensive climate-induced range shifts in butterflies across the globe
|
Abstract Global changes are leading to widespread species redistribution. Comprehensive assessments of range shift dynamics and their drivers are difficult, partly due to the variation in range shift detection over space and taxa. Here we compile documented range shift records for 1,758 butterfly species from 105 countries and territories, representing ~10% of the known diversity of these insects.

The Interplay of Climate Change, Urbanisation, and Species Traits Shapes European Butterfly Population Trends
1 Introduction Urbanisation and climate change are accelerating biodiversity shifts in the Anthropocene (van Moorsel et al. 2022; Urban et al. 2024). In Europe, built-up surface area increased from 173.6 billion m2 (ca. 4% of total land area) in 1975 to 464.6 billion m2 (ca. 10.7%) in 2020 (EU Commission 2023); a tendency that has expanded worldwide and is projected to increase sixfold by 2050 (Gao and O'Neill 2020).

The interplay of climate change, urbanization, and species traits shapes European butterfly population trends
Abstract Species populations naturally fluctuate, yet long-term trend analysis can reveal patterns of success, decline, or stability under global change pressures. While responses to climate change are well-documented, its synergy with another major global driver, urbanization, remains understudied.
Contrasting genetic differentiation of urban and rural populations of two grassland lepidopterans across Europe
Abstract Urbanisation is transforming environments globally. The altered abiotic conditions and biotic interactions in urban habitats inflict divergent selection pressures on urban versus rural populations. Genetic drift may simultaneously be significant in typically small urban populations. A key question in urban evolution is whether urban genotypes have a single or multiple origins, but such assessments remain rare, precluding generalizations.
