“…Fossil findings show that insects also had to react to climatic changes in the past (Coope, 1970(Coope, , 1987(Coope, , 1995McGavin, 1994;Ashworth, 1997). Wilf and Labandeira (1999) observed increased damage intensity, frequency and diversity on late Paleocene host plant leaves in Southwest Wyoming.…”

Abstract. In this review, the impacts of climate change on Lepidoptera species and communities are summarized, regarding already registered changes in case of individual species and assemblies, and possible future effects. These include changes in abundance, distribution ranges (altitude above sea level, geographical distribution), phenology (earlier or later flying, number of generations per year). The paper also contains a short description of the observed impacts of single factors and conditions (temperature, atmospheric CO 2 concentration, drought, predators and parasitoids, UV-B radiation) affecting the life of moths and butterflies, and recorded monitoring results of changes in the Lepidoptera communities of some observed areas. The review is closed with some theoretical considerations concerning the characteristics of "winner" species and also the features and conditions needed for a successful invasion, conquest of new territories.

“…DOI: 10.1038/sj/hdy/6800003 species can be studied by analysing pollen (eg, Huntley and Birks, 1983;Gliemeroth, 1995). For animals, sufficient remains only exist for some groups, such as beetles or terrestrial gastropods (eg, Coope, 1970Coope, , 1994Hertelendy et al, 1992); for the great majority of invertebrates, hardly any evidence of this kind is available.…”

“…The climate during the last ice-age, the Wü rm, being totally different from today (eg, Frenzel et al, 1992), forced nearly all plant and animal species to change their European distribution ranges (Huntley and Birks, 1983;Gliemeroth, 1995;Hewitt, 1996Hewitt, , 1999Taberlet et al, 1998;Comes and Kadereit, 1999). Species thought to have been widely distributed throughout Central Europe during the ice-ages, only survive in alpine or tundral relict areas (Coope, 1970(Coope, , 1994Varga, 1977). Thermophilic species were restricted to the more temperate regions of the Mediterranean during glaciations (Hewitt, 1996).…”

The genetic population structure of Polyommatus coridon (Poda 1761) over large regions of France, Italy and Germany was studied by allozyme electrophoresis. The genetic diversity within populations was high for all parameters analysed (number of alleles 2.72; observed and expected heterozygosity 19.6% and 20.3%, respectively; percentage of polymorphic loci: total: 76.4% and, with polymorphism if the frequency of the commonest allele is below 95%: 53.1%), whereas genetic differentiation between populations was comparatively low (F ST = 0.021 ± 0.002). The mean number of alleles declined significantly from southern to northern populations (r = −0.53, P = 0.0005). Similar effects were found also for other parameters of genetic diversity. This is interpreted as a loss of genetic diversity during postglacial

“…There is much available evidence that evolution of new species is a slow process, compared with the human timp scale, and it is thus likely that the species assemblages of European broadleaved woodlands have originated over a long period of time (see West 1968;Coope 1970) stretching back beyond the Interglacials into the later Pliocene period at least.…”

ITE contributes to, and draws upon, the collective knowledge of the 14 sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences.The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man-made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources.
