Understanding and forecasting species' geographic distributions in the face of global change is a central priority in biodiversity science. The existing view is that one must choose …
Plants in most biomes are thought to be living at their hydraulic limits, and alterations to precipitation patterns consistent with climate change trends are causing die-back in forests …
The perceived threat of climate change is often evaluated from species distribution models that are fitted to many species independently and then added together. This approach …
