Cold-adapted species, including those restricted to mountains, are highly vulnerable to climate change. For UK butterflies, cold-adapted species are similarly threatened by climate change-mediated decline, with some… Read More »Climate change impacts on cold-adapted butterflies: discovering the mechanisms and testing potential mitigation approaches
