Towards novel approaches to modelling biotic interactions in multispecies assemblages at large spatial extentsJournal of Biogeography - Tập 39 Số 12 - Trang 2163-2178 - 2012

AbstractAim Biotic interactions – within guilds or across trophic levels – have widely been ignored in species distribution models (SDMs). This synthesis outlines the development of ‘species interaction distribution models’ (SIDMs), which aim to incorporate multispecies interactions at large spatial extents using interaction matrices.... hiện toàn bộ
Pollen‐based biome reconstruction for southern Europe and Africa 18,000 yr bpJournal of Biogeography - Tập 27 Số 3 - Trang 621-634 - 2000
Hilaire Elenga, Odile Peyron, Raymonde Bonnefille, Dominique Jolly, Rachid Cheddadi, Joël Guiot, Valérie Andrieu‐Ponel, Sytze Bottema, Guillaume Soulet, J.‐L. De Beaulieu, Alan Hamilton, Jean Maley, Rob Marchant, Ramón Pérez i Obiol, Maurice Reille, G. Riollet, Louis Scott, Herbert Straka, David Taylor, Elise Van Campo, Annie Vincens, F. Laarif, H. Jonson
AbstractPollen data from 18,000 14C yr bp were compiled in order to reconstruct biome distributions at the last glacial maximum in southern Europe and Africa. Biome reconstructions were made using the objective biomization method applied to pollen counts using a complete list of dryland taxa wherever possible. Consistent and ...... hiện toàn bộ
From southern refugia to the northern range margin: genetic population structure of the common wall lizard, Podarcis muralisJournal of Biogeography - Tập 40 Số 8 - Trang 1475-1489 - 2013
Franz Gassert, Ulrich Schulte, Martin Husemann, Werner Ulrich, Dennis Rödder, Axel Hochkirch, Edmée Engel, Jobst Meyer, Jan Christian Habel
AbstractAimThermophilic species persisted in southern refugia during the cold phases of the Pleistocene, and expanded northwards during warming. These processes caused genetic imprints, such as a differentiation of genetic lineages and a loss of genetic diversity in the wake of (re)colonization. We used molecular markers and speci...... hiện toàn bộ
Present‐day and mid‐Holocene biomes reconstructed from pollen and plant macrofossil data from the former Soviet Union and MongoliaJournal of Biogeography - Tập 25 Số 6 - Trang 1029-1053 - 1998

Fossil pollen data supplemented by tree macrofossil records were used to reconstruct the vegetation of the Former Soviet Union and Mongolia at 6000 years. Pollen spectra were assigned to biomes using the plant‐functional‐type method developed by Prentice et al. (1996). Surface pollen data and a modern vegetation map provided a test of the method. This is the firs...... hiện toàn bộ
Pollen‐based biome reconstructions for China at 0 and 6000 yearsJournal of Biogeography - Tập 25 Số 6 - Trang 1055-1069 - 1998
Ge Yu, I. Colin Prentice, Sandy P. Harrison, Xiangjun Sun
Biomization provides an objective and robust method of assigning pollen spectra to biomes so that pollen data can be mapped and compared directly with the output of biomgeographic models. We have tested the applicability of this procedure, originally developed for Europe, to assign modern surface samples from China to biomes. The procedure successfully delineated the major vegetation types...... hiện toàn bộ
Body size evolution in insular vertebrates: generality of the island ruleJournal of Biogeography - Tập 32 Số 10 - Trang 1683-1699 - 2005
Mark V. Lomolino
AbstractAim My goals here are to (1) assess the generality of the island rule – the graded trend from gigantism in small species to dwarfism in larger species – for mammals and other terrestrial vertebrates on islands and island‐like ecosystems; (2) explore some related patterns of body size variation in insular vertebrates, in particular va...... hiện toàn bộ
