Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Understanding of the determinants of species' geographic range limits remains poorly
integrated. In part, this is because of the diversity of perspectives on the issue, and because …

Over the last 20 years, comprehensive strategies for treating measurement error in complex
models and accounting for the use of extra data to estimate measurement error parameters …

Background Ixodes ricinus is the main vector in Europe of human-pathogenic Lyme
borreliosis (LB) spirochaetes, the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and other pathogens …

The assumption that species are most abundant in the center of their range and decline in
abundance toward the range edges has a long history in the ecological literature. This …

Species occurrence and its dynamic components, extinction and colonization probabilities,
are focal quantities in biogeography and metapopulation biology, and for species …

Worldwide, migratory species are undergoing rapid declines but understanding the factors
driving these declines is hindered by missing information about migratory connectivity and …

Summary 1 Studies aiming to identify the prevalence and nature of density dependence in
ecological populations have often used statistical analysis of ecological time‐series of …

There is increasing interest in the role played by density-dependent mortality from natural
enemies, particularly plant pathogens, in promoting the coexistence and diversity of tropical …

Aim Correlative distribution models have been used to identify potential climatic controls of
mangrove range limits, but there is still uncertainty about the relative importance of these …
