The dominant paradigm for assessing ecological responses to climate change assumes that
future states of individuals and populations can be predicted by current, species-wide …

Invasive alien plants (IAPs) have serious environmental and economic impacts, especially in
vulnerable areas of China. However, IAP richness distribution patterns, their driving factors …

Given the importance of climate in shaping species' geographic distributions, climate
change poses an existential threat to biodiversity. Climate envelope modeling, the …

Marginal and peripheral populations are important for biodiversity conservation. Their
original situation in a species' geographic and ecological space often confers them genetic …

According to the 'fitness‐suitability'hypothesis, ongoing changes in climate are expected to
affect habitat suitability and hence species' fitness. In trees, differences in fitness may …

Whether more species are required to maintain ecosystem functioning as spatial scale
increases or across environmental gradients has frequently been studied by examining …

(1) Background: local morphological variation can provide useful information to clarify the
role of hybridization in Mediterranean oaks. Accordingly, we have characterized putative …

Introduction Forestry in many parts of the world depends on exotic species, making this
industry a source of invasions in some countries. Among others, plantations of the genus …

Aim Improving species distribution models (SDMs) and species abundance models (SAMs)
of woody shrubs is critical for predicting biodiversity changes in the Arctic, which is …

Billions of years of evolution have given us a planet that supports a remarkable diversity of
life. Estimates for the number of Eukaryotic species frequently number in the millions and the …
