Geographic variation in genetic and demographic performance: new insights from an old biogeographical paradigm
Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

The community ecology of invasive species: where are we and what's next?
Alien species are continually introduced in most regions of the world, but not all survive and
coexist with the resident native species. Approaches analyzing the functional (or …

Drought-induced vegetation shifts in terrestrial ecosystems: The key role of regeneration dynamics
J Martínez-Vilalta, F Lloret - Global and Planetary Change, 2016 - Elsevier
Ongoing climate change is modifying climatic conditions worldwide, with a trend towards
drier conditions in most regions. Vegetation will respond to these changes, eventually …

Scale-sensitivity in the measurement and interpretation of environmental niches
Species environmental niches are central to ecology, evolution, and global change
research, but their characterization and interpretation depend on the spatial scale …

Relationships between population densities and niche‐centroid distances in North American birds
L Osorio‐Olvera, C Yañez‐Arenas… - Ecology …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Correlational ecological niche models have seen intensive use and exploration as a means

Trophic redundancy reduces vulnerability to extinction cascades
Current species extinction rates are at unprecedentedly high levels. While human activities
can be the direct cause of some extinctions, it is becoming increasingly clear that species …

Addressing common pitfalls does not provide more support to geographical and ecological abundant‐centre hypotheses
A long‐standing hypothesis in biogeography is that a species' abundance is highest at the
centre of its geographical or environmental space and decreases toward the edges. Several …

Incorporating intraspecific variation into species distribution models improves distribution predictions, but cannot predict species traits for a wide‐spread plant species
The most common approach to predicting how species ranges and ecological functions will
shift with climate change is to construct correlative species distribution models (SDMs) …

Demographic compensation among populations: what is it, how does it arise and what are its implications?
Most species are exposed to significant environmental gradients across their ranges, but
vital rates (survival, growth, reproduction and recruitment) need not respond in the same …

Range edges in heterogeneous landscapes: Integrating geographic scale and climate complexity into range dynamics
The impacts of climate change have re‐energized interest in understanding the role of
climate in setting species geographic range edges. Despite the strong focus on species' …
