DOI: 10.1007/s10980-018-0723-z
Abstract: ContextRecent research suggests that novel geodiversity data on landforms, hydrology and surface materials can improve biodiversity models at the landscape scale by quantifying abiotic variability more effectively than commonly used measures of spatial heterogeneity. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/zo23010
Abstract: ABSTRACT Anthropogenic stressors such as climate change and diminishing habitats cause widespread disturbances in species distributions for a variety of taxa. Range shifts and hybridisation following secondary contact become of particular importance when it comes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.12939
Abstract: Spatial prioritization, based on the biogeographical identification of priority areas for conservation actions, is an important aspect of conservation planning. Although the influence of factors such as costs, threats or use of surrogates on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13134
Abstract: Knowledge on the colonization process is important to understand and project future species distributions. The classic method to quantify colonization rates is time‐consuming, as it requires recording infrequent colonization events during extensive, repeated surveys. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.02925
Abstract: Although species distributions can change in an unexpectedly short period of time, most species distribution models (SDMs) use only long-term averaged environmental conditions to explain species distributions. We aimed to demonstrate the importance of incorporating… read more here.

Incorporating the geometry of dispersal and migration to understand spatial patterns of species distributions

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.03493
Abstract: Dispersal and migration can be important drivers of species distributions. Because the paths followed by individuals of many species are curvilinear, spatial statistical models based on rectilinear coordinates systems would fail to predict population connectivity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16371
Abstract: Projecting the future distributions of commercially and ecologically important species has become a critical approach for ecosystem managers to strategically anticipate change, but large uncertainties in projections limit climate adaptation planning. Although distribution projections are… read more here.

Community structure informs species geographic distributions

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0197877
Abstract: Understanding what determines species’ geographic distributions is crucial for assessing global change threats to biodiversity. Measuring limits on distributions is usually, and necessarily, done with data at large geographic extents and coarse spatial resolution. However,… read more here.
