Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures
Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 79-92 - 2004
Jörg Tews, Ulrich Brose, Volker Grimm, Katja Tielbörger, Matthias Wichmann, Monika Schwager, Florian Jeltsch
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 publicat...... hiện toàn bộ
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
Richard G. Pearson, Christopher J. Raxworthy, Miguel Nakamura, A. Townsend Peterson
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, loc...... hiện toàn bộ
The distance decay of similarity in biogeography and ecology
Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 867-878 - 1999
Jeffrey C. Nekola, Peter S. White
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.... hiện toàn bộ
Scale and species richness: towards a general, hierarchical theory of species diversity
Tập 28 Số 4 - Trang 453-470 - 2001
Robert J. Whittaker, Katherine J. Willis, Richard Field
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 exp...... hiện toàn bộ
Making better Maxent models of species distributions: complexity, overfitting and evaluation
Tập 41 Số 4 - Trang 629-643 - 2014
Aleksandar Radosavljević, Robert P. Anderson
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 compl...... hiện toàn bộ
Rethinking patch size and isolation effects: the habitat amount hypothesis
Tập 40 Số 9 - Trang 1649-1663 - 2013
Lenore Fahrig
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 t...... hiện toàn bộ
The human dimension of fire regimes on Earth
Tập 38 Số 12 - Trang 2223-2236 - 2011

Phylogeography: retrospect and prospect
Tập 36 Số 1 - Trang 3-15 - 2009
John C. Avise
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 mitoch...... hiện toàn bộ
Model‐based uncertainty in species range prediction
Tập 33 Số 10 - Trang 1704-1711 - 2006
Richard G. Pearson, Wilfried Thuiller, Miguel B. Araújo, Enrique Martínez‐Meyer, Lluís Brotóns, Colin J. McClean, Lera Miles, Pedro Segurado, Terence P. Dawson, David C. Lees
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 outpu...... hiện toàn bộ
Climate warming and the decline of amphibians and reptiles in Europe
Tập 33 Số 10 - Trang 1712-1728 - 2006
Miguel B. Araújo, Wilfried Thuiller, Richard G. Pearson
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...... hiện toàn bộ
