Predictions based on phylogeography and climatic niche modelling depict an uncertain future scenario for giant blister beetles (Berberomeloe, Meloidae) facing intensive greenhouse expansion and global warming

Large-scale agricultural and tourism development are the main threats to biodiver-sity in south-eastern Spain. Species with low dispersal abilities, such as someendemic insects from this region, are particularly vulnerable to fragmentation and loss of genetic and morphological diversity. Here, we st...

Sumario:Large-scale agricultural and tourism development are the main threats to biodiver-sity in south-eastern Spain. Species with low dispersal abilities, such as someendemic insects from this region, are particularly vulnerable to fragmentation and loss of genetic and morphological diversity. Here, we studied the current and future threat of climate and land-use change on the intraspecific diversity of one suchgroup of endemics, the giant blister beetles of the Berberomeloe insignis species group
