Refugia from climate change, and their influence on the diversity and conservation of insects

A new chapter authored by Mario Mingarro was published in the book Effects of Climate Change on Insects: Physiological, Evolutionary, and Ecological Responses. This chapter analyses how climate refugia protect insects from climate change. It provides a framework for evaluating whether an isolated KBA has the potential to act as a climate refuge for the species it harbours, considering its physical and microclimatic characteristics.
