Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly using big-data approaches to tackle
questions at large spatial, taxonomic, and temporal scales. However, despite recent efforts …

To ensure the long-term persistence of biodiversity, conservation strategies must account for
the entire range of climate change impacts. A variety of spatial prioritisation techniques have …

Aim The knowledge of biodiversity facets such as species composition, distribution and
ecological niche is fundamental for the construction of biogeographic hypotheses and …

There is little appreciation of the level of extinction risk faced by one‐sixth of the over 65,000
species assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Determining the …

Species distribution models can be affected by overprediction when dispersal movement is
not incorporated into the modelling process. We compared the efficiency of seven methods …

Aim To identify key research questions and challenges that will, if addressed in a timely
manner, significantly advance the field of freshwater fish biogeography and conservation …

Predictive modelling of species geographical distributions is a thriving ecological and
biogeographical discipline. Major advances in its conceptual foundation and applications …

Human activity and land‐use change are dramatically altering the sizes, geographical
distributions and functioning of biological populations worldwide, with tremendous …

The aim of this paper is to review literature on species diversity patterns of freshwater
organisms and underlying mechanisms at large spatial scales. 2. Some freshwater taxa (eg …

If we were to describe all the species on Earth and determine their distributions, we would
solve the popularly termed 'Linnean'and 'Wallacean'shortfalls in biodiversity conservation …
