Assessing the distribution of geographically restricted and evolutionarily unique species and
their underlying drivers is key to understanding biogeographical processes and critical for …

Birds are among the best-studied animal groups, but their prehistoric diversity is poorly
known due to low fossilization potential. Hence, while many human-driven bird extinctions …

Macroecologists and biogeographers continue to predict the distribution of species across
space based on the relationship between biotic processes and environmental variables …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

Concerted political attention has focused on reducing deforestation,,, and this remains the
cornerstone of most biodiversity conservation strategies,,. However, maintaining forest cover …

The majority of the world's terrestrial large carnivores have undergone substantial range
contractions and many of these species are currently threatened with extinction. However …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to explain and predict species ranges
and environmental niches. They are most commonly constructed by inferring species' …

Gaps in digital accessible information (DAI) on species distributions hamper prospects of
safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystem services, and addressing central ecological and …

Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native
ecosystems and limiting the spread of invasive species,. Tree invasions in particular have …

Island biogeographical models consider islands either as geologically static with biodiversity
resulting from ecologically neutral immigration–extinction dynamics, or as geologically …
