But species are not equally at risk when facing global change (e.g. <xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">Settele et al. 2008</xref>). In the context of climate change, several species-specific ecological characteristics have been identified to determine vulnerability, including diets, habitat requirements, ecological specialisation and plasticity and the ecological characteristics of interacting species (<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">Heikkinen et al. 2010</xref>; <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">Pöyry et al. 2009</xref>; <xref rid="B48" ref-type="bibr">Schweiger et al. 2012</xref>; <xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">Visser 2008</xref>; <xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">Warren et al. 2001</xref>). Thus, good knowledge of the ecological characteristics relevant for the reaction of species and communities to particular drivers of global change is needed, which can then be utilised as powerful indicators for conservation planning and action.</p><p>One of the most important ecological characteristics to assess how species react to climate change obviously is the climatic niche. While knowledge on particular species characteristics such as habitat requirements is already available for some species groups, crucial publicly available information about climatic requirements is still lacking for the majority of the species. Here we present a unique dataset on climatic niche characteristics of 397 (91%) butterfly species in Europe, which have been shown to be particularly sensitive to changing climates (<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">Hill et al. 2002</xref>; <xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">Settele et al. 2008</xref>; <xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">Warren et al. 2001</xref>). Based on projections of future suitable climatic conditions, <xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">Settele et al. (2008)</xref> showed that under the assumption of unlimited dispersal 7% of the European butterflies are at an extremely high or very high risk (i.e. a loss of more than 95% and 85%, respectively of their current range size until 2080), 6% are at high risk (>70% loss) and 18% are at risk (>50% loss; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1</xref>). However, the more realistic assumption of no dispersal (in the given amount of time) projected 33% of the butterflies to be at an extremely high or very high risk, 26% to be at high risk and 19% to be at risk (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1</xref>).</p><fig id="F1" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Figure 1.</label><caption><p>Proportion of species (%) with different climatic risk status after <xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">Settele at al.

<p>Based on detailed data on the distribution of European butterflies, which also led to the ‘Distribution Atlas of European Butterflies’ (<xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">Kudrna 2002</xref>), the ‘Climatic Risk Atlas of European Butterflies (<xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">Settele et al. 2008</xref>) and the ‘Distribution Atlas of Butterflies in Europe’ (<xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">Kudrna et al. 2011</xref>), we extracted measures of climatic conditions (indicating niche breadth and position) within the distributional range of each species. As a consequence of this approach, users of this dataset should be aware that the provided measures refer to the realised climatic niche and not to the fundamental niche (sensu <xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">Hutchinson 1957</xref>; but see discussion in <xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">Araújo and Guisan 2006</xref>). The extracted measures reflect two primary properties of climate, energy and water, which are known to affect butterfly species performance and distributions as a consequence of physiological limitations (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">Buckley et al. 2011</xref>; <xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">Roy et al. 2001</xref>). Most of these measures are quite independent from each other and cover different aspects of the climatic niche (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2</xref>).</p><fig id="F2" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Figure 2.</label><caption><p>Results from a principal component analysis of the species-specific mean values of six different climate variables. Mean values per species have been calculated based on the observed records per 50 km × 50 km CGRS grid cell across a species’ European distribution. PC1 explained 58% and PC2 32% of the variability. Niche characteristics according to annual temperature (temp) and growing degree days until August (gdd) are highly correlated. Also, the two measures of water availability, annual precipitation (pre) and soil water content (swc) show some similarity, while the indicators of annual range in precipitation (pre.range) and temperature (temp.range) are negatively correlated. In spite of these similarities, aspects of energy, water and their annual variability can be assessed independently with a choice of at least three of the indicators.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="ZooKeys-367-065-g002"></graphic></fig><p>By combining a comprehensive database on the distribution of European butterflies with publicly available climatic data in combination with a constantly high level of quality control at crucial steps of the data generation, CLIMBER represents a unique and ready-to-use dataset for a broad variety of potential applications. Analysis of phylogenetic signals in the climatic niche characteristics, for instance, can be used to assess past niche evolution which can lead to projections of potential future risks in the face of rapid climate change (for a comparable analysis for birds see <xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">Lavergne et al. 2013</xref>). Also, analyses relating climatic niche properties to other species traits can be helpful to assess interdependencies of different ecologi<pmc-comment>PageBreak</pmc-comment>cal characteristics, as has been done recently for birds and their temperature and habitat preferences (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">Barnagaud et al. 2012</xref>). So far the most powerful application of climatic niche characteristics provided in this dataset comes from the ‘species temperature index’ (STI). The STI is simply the mean temperature value per species across its range. Based on the STI, the ‘community temperature index’ (CTI) has been suggested as a powerful and robust tool to measure the response of local communities to temperature change (<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">Devictor et al. 2008</xref>; <xref rid="B46" ref-type="bibr">Devictor et al. 2012a</xref>; <xref rid="B47" ref-type="bibr">Devictor et al. 2012b</xref>). The CTI is calculated as the average STI value across the species or specimens in a community and has been used to analyse the temporal response to climate warming of local bird and butterfly communities across Europe. One striking result of this study was the detection of time lag effects in the community response to climate warming and that these lag effects differed between the two species groups (<xref rid="B46" ref-type="bibr">Devictor et al. 2012a</xref>).</p><p>STI values for European butterflies can be of great value for governmental and non-governmental conservation organisations (<xref rid="B49" ref-type="bibr">Van Swaay et al. 2010</xref>; <xref rid="B50" ref-type="bibr">Van Swaay et al. 2008</xref>). Based on the STI, the CTI was recently adopted as an indicator of climate <pmc-comment>PageBreak</pmc-comment>change impact on biodiversity by the pan-European framework supporting the Convention on Biological Diversity (Streamlining European Biodiversity Indicators 2010; <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/knowledge/eu2010_indicators">http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/knowledge/eu2010_indicators</ext-link>). Thus, STI and corresponding CTI values can perfectly complement and enrich the analysis of all kind of butterfly monitoring schemes. To address the fact that temperature is not the only changing climatic factor or aspect of the climatic niche, we think that the additionally provided climatic niche characteristics concerning water availability and annual climatic variability can help to enrich the landscape of target-specific analyses and indicators (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2</xref>). By providing public access to this dataset, we hope to contribute to improvements of the scientific understanding of how climate change affects species and communities and to improve monitoring and conservation actions for climate change mitigation.</p></sec><sec><title>Metadata</title><p>For the description of the metadata we followed the standards suggested by <xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">Michener et al.

</sec><sec sec-type="methods"><title>Methods</title><sec sec-type="Butterfly distribution data"><title>Butterfly distribution data</title><p>Climatic niche characteristics of the butterflies in Europe are based on their European distribution. Butterfly distributions were available from about 7000 georeferenced localities and about 200,000 database records. These records were stored in a database and constituted also the basis for ‘The Distribution Atlas of European Butterflies’ (<xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">Kudrna 2002</xref>) and, as an updated version, for the ‘Distribution Atlas of Butterflies in Europe’ (<xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">Kudrna et al. 2011</xref>; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Fig. 6</xref>). The data are owned by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (and thus by the originators of CLIMBER). To avoid problems of occasional undersampling and imprecise geo-reference of some locations at the local scale, we re-sampled the localities to 1720 CGRS grid cells at a 50 km × 50 km resolution. Distribution data refer to the period of 1981–2000 and cover the abovementioned European window of 11°W, 32°E longitude and 34°N, 72°N latitude. We also provide an estimation of species range sizes by the number of grid cells used for calculating the climatic species characteristics.</p><fig id="F6" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Figure 6.</label><caption><p>Work flow and data sources for the generation of CLIMBER. Butterfly distribution data are based on a database which combines information from local recorders and private, regional and national databases. Thereof, species distributional maps have been developed. Together with maps of original and derived climate variables, based on interpolated data from local weather stations, species distribution-climate relationships have been assessed in a GIS. Based on these relationships several statistics describing the climatic characteristics of 397 European butterfly species have been developed and stored in CLIMBER.

For a detailed description of the climate data see <xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">Fronzek et al. (2012)</xref>. The following basic climatic variables were used to assess aspects of the climatic niche: mean annual temperature (°C), range of annual temperature (°C), annual precipitation sum (mm), range of annual precipitation (mm), accumulated growing degree days with a base temperature of 5°C until February, April, June and August and soil water content for the upper horizon (0.5 m). Different time periods for calculating accumulated growing degree days enable the consideration of different phenologies and phenological aspects in the analysis of the climatic species characteristics. We do not provide growing degree days for periods ending later than August because these values are highly correlated with mean annual temperature in any case. Soil water content originated from the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS (<xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">Hickler et al. 2009</xref>; <xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">Hickler et al. 2004</xref>) which provides a process-based representation of the water balance in terrestrial ecosystems.

The dataset comprises information for the position and breadth of the climatic niche.

During the step of compiling butterfly records for Europe, taxonomic experts addressed problems of potential misidentification, synonymy and the taxonomic concept. Once the species distribution maps had been produced, internal and external control ensured the elimination of obviously wrong records (species outside their natural range). Climate data are based on original climate variables from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of <pmc-comment>PageBreak</pmc-comment>the University of East Anglia and derived climate variables generated by the ALARM project. Both, CRU and ALARM ensured a high level of internal and external quality control. Data quality for the calculation of the climatic niche characteristics for each butterfly species is high (about 200,000 records for butterfly distribution; well recognised and commonly accepted climate data). Additionally, we provide the number of grid cells which have been used to calculate the climatic species characteristics and the standard deviation to assess uncertainty of the measures.</p></sec></sec><sec><title>Data status and accessibility</title><sec sec-type="Status"><title>Status</title><p>Data set version: v1.3</p><p>Latest update: 18.10.2013.</p><p>Metadata status: Metadata are complete and stored with the data.</p></sec><sec sec-type="Accessibility"><title>Accessibility</title><p><bold>Copyright restrictions:</bold> None.</p><p><bold>Proprietary restrictions:</bold> This dataset is freely available for non-commercial scientific use.</p><p><bold>Citation:</bold> Data users must cite this Data Paper properly in any publication that results from an analysis using the provided data as a whole or in parts as: Schweiger O, Harpke A, Wiemers M, Settele J (2013).
