Rarity and beta diversity assessment as tools for guiding conservation strategies in marine tropical subtidal communitiesDiversity and Distributions - Tập 25 Số 5 - Trang 743-757 - 2019
Lélis Antonio Carlos-Júnior, Matthew Spencer, Danilo M. Neves, Timothy P. Moulton, Débora de Oliveira Pires, Clovis B. Castro, Carlos Renato Rezende Ventura, Carlos E. L. Ferreira, Cristiana S. Serejo, Simone Siag Oigman‐Pszczol, Fernanda Araújo Casares, Marcelo Checoli Mantelatto, Joel C. Creed
AbstractAimOur aim was to uncover patterns of distribution of marine subtidal rocky reef communities across six taxonomic groups and decompose the relative roles of species loss and turnover in total community variation. Additionally, we propose an easily calculated index that can be used to highlight areas with unique species com...... hiện toàn bộ
Is vessel hull fouling an invasion threat to the Great Lakes?Diversity and Distributions - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 132-143 - 2010
Francisco Sylvester, Hugh J. MacIsaac
AbstractAim Hull fouling is a leading vector for the introduction of marine, non‐indigenous species (NIS) worldwide, yet its importance to freshwater habitats is poorly understood. We aimed to establish the complement of NIS transported via this vector to the Great Lakes and to determine if they pose an invasion risk.... hiện toàn bộ
A blueprint for securing Brazil's marine biodiversity and supporting the achievement of global conservation goalsDiversity and Distributions - Tập 27 Số 2 - Trang 198-215 - 2021

AbstractAimAs a step towards providing support for an ecological approach to strengthening marine protected areas (MPAs) and meeting international commitments, this study combines cumulative impact assessment and conservation planning approach to undertake a large‐scale spatial prioritization.... hiện toàn bộ
Topography of the Andes Mountains shapes the wintering distribution of a migratory birdDiversity and Distributions - Tập 23 Số 2 - Trang 118-129 - 2017
Ana M. González, Nicholas J. Bayly, Gabriel J. Colorado, Keith A. Hobson
AbstractAimIn birds, patterns of migratory connectivity are influenced by landscape structure experienced throughout the annual cycle. Assessing how landscape patterns drive the movements and distributions of migratory species is important for understanding the evolution of migration and determining conservation priorities. We det...... hiện toàn bộ
MigClim: Predicting plant distribution and dispersal in a changing climateDiversity and Distributions - Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 590-601 - 2009
Robin Engler, Antoine Guisan
AbstractAim Many studies have forecasted the possible impact of climate change on plant distributions using models based on ecological niche theory, but most of them have ignored dispersal‐limitations, assuming dispersal to be either unlimited or null. Depending on the rate of climatic change, the landscape fragmentation and the dispersal ca...... hiện toàn bộ
Appropriateness of full‐, partial‐ and no‐dispersal scenarios in climate change impact modellingDiversity and Distributions - Tập 19 Số 10 - Trang 1224-1234 - 2013
Brooke L. Bateman, Helen T. Murphy, April E. Reside, Karel Mokany, Jeremy VanDerWal
AbstractAimSpecies distribution models (SDMs) generally use correlative relationships between the species location and the associated environment to project the species potential distribution under climate change. While projecting a future suitable climatic space is rel...... hiện toàn bộ
Migration rate limitations on climate change‐induced range shifts in Cape ProteaceaeDiversity and Distributions - Tập 12 Số 5 - Trang 555-562 - 2006
Guy F. Midgley, Gregory O. Hughes, Wilfried Thuiller, Anthony G. Rebelo
ABSTRACTModelling of climate change‐induced species range shifts has generally addressed migration limitations inadequately, often assuming ‘null’ migration or instantaneous ‘full’ migration extremes. We describe methods for incorporating simple migration rate assumptions into multispecies modelling, using the Proteaceae of the Cape Floristic Region. Even with opti...... hiện toàn bộ
