DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16140
Abstract: PREMISE Researchers often use ecological niche models to predict where species might establish and persist under future or novel climate conditions. However, these predictive methods assume species have stable niches across time and space. Furthermore,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1756
Abstract: PREMISE Ecogeographic isolation, or geographic isolation caused by ecological divergence, is thought to be of primary importance in speciation, yet is difficult to demonstrate and quantify. To determine whether distributions are limited by divergent adaptation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2787
Abstract: Abstract Distributions of avian mutualists are affected by changes in biotic interactions and environmental conditions driven directly/indirectly by human actions. The range contraction of red‐billed oxpeckers (Buphagus erythrorhynchus) in South Africa is partly a result… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2018.04.013
Abstract: Ecological Niche models (ENMs) are tools that allow us to approximate the area of suitability for a species, thereby allowing elaboration of conservation strategies. The validation of these models in situ is not always possible… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2018.08.013
Abstract: Abstract Correlative ecological niche models (ENMs) aim to approximate the environmentally suitable areas for a species. Recently, studies have explored the minimum number of occurrence records needed to implement ENMs; however, cosmopolitan species with many… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-67992-6
Abstract: Variation and population structure play key roles in the speciation process, but adaptive intraspecific genetic variation is commonly ignored when forecasting species niches. Amphibians serve as excellent models for testing how climate and local adaptations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13935
Abstract: Criticism has been levelled at climate-change-induced forecasts of species range shifts that do not account explicitly for complex population dynamics. The relative importance of such dynamics under climate change is, however, undetermined because direct tests… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16615
Abstract: Understanding how species respond to human activities is paramount to ecology and conservation science, one outstanding question being how large‐scale patterns in land use affect biodiversity. To facilitate answering this question, we propose a novel… read more here.
