A precise knowledge of the spatial distribution of taxa is essential for decision-making
processes in land management and biodiversity conservation, both for present and under …

Aim To test whether it is possible to establish a common biogeographical regionalization for
plants and vertebrates in sub‐Saharan Africa (the Afrotropical Region), using objective …

The distribution of living organisms on Earth is spatially structured. Early biogeographers
identified the existence of multiple zoogeographical regions, characterized by faunas with …

Abstract Aim Mapping Amazonian biodiversity accurately is a major challenge for integrated
conservation strategies and to study its origins. However, species boundaries and their …

Over the last two decades, macroecology–the analysis of large‐scale, multi‐species
ecological patterns and processes–has established itself as a major line of biological …

Our aims were to quantify and map the plant sub regions of the the Caatinga, that covers
844,453 km2 and is the largest block of seasonally dry forest in South America. We …

We present EU-Forest, a dataset that integrates and extends by almost one order of
magnitude the publicly available information on European tree species distribution. The core …

The world's zoogeographical regions were historically defined on an intuitive basis, with no
or a limited amount of analytical testing. Here, we aimed (a) to compare analytically defined …

Aim To compare macroecological patterns between bird communities of E uropean cities
and regional species assemblages in the surrounding landscape, and to reveal …

Background Biogeographical units are widely adopted in ecological research and nature
conservation management, even though biogeographical regionalisation is still under …
