The value of museums in the production, sharing, and use of entomological data to document hyperdiversity of the changing North
If the current rate of climate change continues, the composition, distribution, and relative population sizes of species in the higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere are likely to change considerably. Understanding the magnitude of this change requires a well- documented baseline against which...
