Abstract: Aim To quantify global latitudinal patterns in the distributions of alien bird species to assess whether these species conform to Rapoport’s rule (i.e. show a positive latitudinal gradient in latitudinal range extent), and to test… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0306832
Abstract: Species’ range size is a fundamental unit of analysis in biodiversity research, given its association with extinction risk and species richness. One of its most notable patterns is its positive relationship with latitude, which has… read more here.
