  text: Mountainous running water ecosystems are vulnerable to climate change with
    major changes coming from warming temperatures. Species distribution will be affected
    and some species are anticipated to be winners (increasing their range) or losers
    (at risk of extinction). Climate change vulnerability is seldom integrated when
    assessing threat status for lists of species at risk (Red Lists), even though
    this might appear an important addition in the current context. The main objective
    of our study was to assess the potential vulnerability of Ephemeroptera (E), Plecoptera
    (P) and Trichoptera (T) species to global warming in a Swiss mountainous region
    by supplementing Species Distribution Models (SDMs) with a trait-based approach,
    using available historical occurrence and environmental data and to compare our
    outcomes with the Swiss National Red List. First, we used nine different modelling
    techniques and topographic, land use, climatic and hydrological variables as predictors
    of EPT species distribution. The shape of the response curves of the species for
    the environmental variables in the nine modelling techniques, together with three
    biological and ecological traits were used to assess the potential vulnerability
    of each species to climate change. The joint use of SDMs and trait approach appeared
    complementary and even though discrepancies were highlighted between SDMs and
    trait analyses, groups of potential “winners” and “losers” were raised out. Plecoptera
    appeared as the most vulnerable group to global warming. Divergences between current
    threat status of species and our results pointed out the need to integrate climate
    change vulnerability in Red List assessments.
