Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures
Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 79-92 - 2004
AbstractAim In a selected literature survey we reviewed studies on the habitat
heterogeneity–animal species diversity relationship and evaluated whether there
are uncertainties and biases in its empirical
support.Location World‐wide.Methods We reviewed 85 publications for the period
1960–2003. We screened each publication for terms that were used to define
habitat heterogeneity, the animal species...
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Predicting species distributions from small numbers of occurrence records: a test case using cryptic geckos in Madagascar
Tập 34 Số 1 - Trang 102-117 - 2007
AbstractAim Techniques that predict species potential distributions by
combining observed occurrence records with environmental variables show much
potential for application across a range of biogeographical analyses. Some of
the most promising applications relate to species for which occurrence records
are scarce, due to cryptic habits, locally restricted distributions or low
sampling effort. Ho...
The distance decay of similarity in biogeography and ecology
Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 867-878 - 1999
SummaryAimOur aim was to understand how similarity changes with distance in
biological communities, to use the distance decay perspective as quantitative
technique to describe biogeographic pattern, and to explore whether growth form,
dispersal type, rarity, or support affected the rate of distance decay in
similarity.LocationNorth American spruce‐fir forests, Appalachian montane

Scale and species richness: towards a general, hierarchical theory of species diversity
Tập 28 Số 4 - Trang 453-470 - 2001
AimCurrent weaknesses of diversity theory include: a failure to distinguish
different biogeographical response variables under the general heading of
diversity; and a general failure of ecological theory to deal adequately with
geographical scale. Our aim is to articulate the case for a top‐down approach to
theory building, in which scale is addressed explicitly and in which different
response var...
Making better Maxent models of species distributions: complexity, overfitting and evaluation
Tập 41 Số 4 - Trang 629-643 - 2014
AbstractAimModels of species niches and distributions have become invaluable to
biogeographers over the past decade, yet several outstanding methodological
issues remain. Here we address three critical ones: selecting appropriate
evaluation data, detecting overfitting, and tuning program settings to
approximate optimal model complexity. We integrate solutions to these issues for
Maxent models, usi...
Rethinking patch size and isolation effects: the habitat amount hypothesis
Tập 40 Số 9 - Trang 1649-1663 - 2013
AbstractI challenge (1) the assumption that habitat patches are natural units of
measurement for species richness, and (2) the assumption of distinct effects of
habitat patch size and isolation on species richness. I propose a simpler view
of the relationship between habitat distribution and species richness, the
‘habitat amount hypothesis’, and I suggest ways of testing it. The habitat
amount hyp...
Phylogeography: retrospect and prospect
Tập 36 Số 1 - Trang 3-15 - 2009
AbstractPhylogeography has grown explosively in the two decades since the word
was coined and the discipline was outlined in 1987. Here I summarize the many
achievements and novel perspectives that phylogeography has brought to
population genetics, phylogenetic biology and biogeography. I also address
future directions for the field. From the introduction of mitochondrial DNA
assays in the late 19...
Model‐based uncertainty in species range prediction
Tập 33 Số 10 - Trang 1704-1711 - 2006
AbstractAim Many attempts to predict the potential range of species rely on
environmental niche (or ‘bioclimate envelope’) modelling, yet the effects of
using different niche‐based methodologies require further investigation. Here we
investigate the impact that the choice of model can have on predictions,
identify key reasons why model output may differ and discuss the implications
that model unc...
Climate warming and the decline of amphibians and reptiles in Europe
Tập 33 Số 10 - Trang 1712-1728 - 2006
AbstractAim We explore the relationship between current European distributions
of amphibian and reptile species and observed climate, and project species
potential distributions into the future. Potential impacts of climate warming
are assessed by quantifying the magnitude and direction of modelled
distributional shifts for every species. In particular we ask, first, what
proportion of amphibian ...
