A major challenge for ecology is to predict and manage global change impacts on species and ecosystems. One key focus of that research is species’ movement (or stasis), through a shift, expansion, or contraction of their ranges. We aim to identify the potential for species range-shifts in Sweden, and to assess their consequences on biodiversity. We study different taxa, with an emphasis on birds
