Mountains are arguably Earth's most striking features. They play a major role in determining
global and regional climates, are the source of most rivers, act as cradles, barriers and …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most widely studied patterns in ecology,
yet no consensus has been reached about its underlying causes. We argue that the reasons …

Understanding the origins of biodiversity has been an aspiration since the days of early
naturalists. The immense complexity of ecological, evolutionary, and spatial processes …

Recent years have seen an exponential increase in the amount of data available in all
sciences and application domains. Macroecology is part of this “Big Data” trend, with a …

Pioneer naturalists such as Whewell, Lyell, Humboldt, Darwin and Wallace acknowledged
