# US biologist Camille Parmesan has won the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Climate Change for revealing how climate change is displacing species. Her pioneering research has been able to establish that rising temperatures have left a globally coherent fingerprint on biodiversity. The Climate Change and Environmental Sciences committee says Parmesan’s work has major ramifications for global public health, due to the polewards expansion of tropical diseases like malaria or dengue that are transmitted by mosquitoes.
