The main objective of this study was to predict the ecological requirements of Alosimus marginicollis (Haag-Rutenberg, 1880),
for which limited ecological information is available, and to predict possible suitable habitats under current conditions and different
future scenarios. An ensemble model-based approach, combining multiple algorithms (GAM,...
The consequences of climate change, accelerated by anthropogenic activities, have different effects on different ecosystems, and the severity of these effects is predicted to increase in the near future. The number of studies investigating how forest ecosystems respond to these changes is increasing. However, there remains a significant gap in rese...

Insects are one of the living groups that are expected to be most affected by climate change,
as they are poikilotherms. Climate change is thought to cause changes in insect physiology and
geographic distribution. Cantharis rustica is a predator of invertebrates and has been observed to
feed on a wide range of species. The species prefers lowland g...
