With the expansion in the quantity and types of biodiversity data being collected, there is a
need to find ways to combine these different sources to provide cohesive summaries of …

The rapidly emerging field of macrogenetics focuses on analysing publicly accessible
genetic datasets from thousands of species to explore large-scale patterns and predictors of …

Cloud cover can influence numerous important ecological processes, including
reproduction, growth, survival, and behavior, yet our assessment of its importance at the …

Summary 1 Top‐down control can be an important determinant of ecosystem structure and
function, but in oceanic ecosystems, where cascading effects of predator depletions …

1. Insects have emerged as causes célèbres for widespread concern about human effects
on global biodiversity. Here, we consider how insects provide opportunities both to …

Aim We assess whether and how datasets collected by the general public, so‐called citizen
science programmes, can improve biogeographical studies and contribute to large‐scale …

Aim We investigated the effects of disease on the local abundances and distributions of
species at continental scales by examining the impacts of white‐nose syndrome, an …

Aim Species distribution models (SDM s) are common tools in biogeography and
conservation ecology. It has been repeatedly claimed that aggregated (stacked) SDM s (S …

For centuries, biogeographers have examined the factors that produce patterns of
biodiversity across regions. The study of islands has proved particularly fruitful and has led …

Most bioassessment programs rest on the assumption that species have different niches,
and that abiotic environmental conditions and changes therein determine community …
