It is important to publish and share research on the conservation risks of climate change! Our Climatic Risk Atlas of European Butterflies of 2008 helped shed light on the recent appearance of the Southern Small White (Pieris mannii) in the UK. bbc.com/news/articles/cwy1wg…

Butterfly from Southern Europe spotted in UK for first time

Experts have tracked the Southern Small White's expansion northwards through Europe over decades.
