Interacting grassland species under threat of multiple global change drivers
Résumé
Aims
Multiple environmental changes simultaneously altering the biotic and abiotic context of species are threatening communities and ecosystems worldwide. Exploration and mitigation of the eco‐evolutionary impacts of global change threats correspondingly are major components of conservation research, yet joint global change impacts remain poorly studied. Moreover, changes in the biotic context of species are rarely considered when assessing global change‐induced range shifts. We aim to unravel the contributions of habitat fragmentation, climate warming, genetic variation and biotic interactions to the past, current and future distribution of a rare grassland butterfly.
