DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8909
Abstract: Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are an increasingly important tool for conservation particularly for difficult‐to‐study locations and with understudied fauna. Our aims were to (1) use SDMs and ensemble SDMs to predict the distribution of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-018-1631-x
Abstract: As marine systems are threatened by increasing human impacts, mechanisms to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services are needed. Protecting areas of conservation importance may serve as a proxy for maintaining these functions, while… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cosust.2018.04.004
Abstract: Ecotourism is growing rapidly in biodiversity hotspots because of its promise to achieve both economic growth and environmental conservation. We reviewed the literature for empirical evidence that ecotourism protects forests. Our conclusions are at once… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.01.068
Abstract: Abstract The fragmentation of natural environments is a critical issue involving major challenges for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management. Large-scale information on areas sensitive to fragmentation is needed to improve the effectiveness of planning efforts.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2016.09.006
Abstract: Several biogeographic barriers in the Eastern Nearctic appear to reduce gene flow among populations of many species in predictable ways, however these patterns used to infer process of divergence may be deceiving if alternative modes… read more here.

What’s hot and what’s not: Making sense of biodiversity ‘hotspots’
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Global Change Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15443
Abstract: Abstract Conserving biogeographic regions with especially high biodiversity, known as biodiversity ‘hotspots’, is intuitive because finite resources can be focussed towards manageable units. Yet, biodiversity, environmental conditions and their relationship are more complex with multidimensional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13997
Abstract: We investigate the biogeographical history and diversification in a treefrog lineage distributed in contrasting (open and forested) ecoregions of South America, including three biodiversity hotspots. We evaluate the role of dispersal and whether other factors… read more here.
