In the last two decades, interest in species distribution models (SDMs) of plants and animals
has grown dramatically. Recent advances in SDMs allow us to potentially forecast …

The location of and threats to biodiversity are distributed unevenly, so prioritization is
essential to minimize biodiversity loss. To address this need, biodiversity conservation …

The extent to which biodiversity change in local assemblages contributes to global
biodiversity loss is poorly understood. We analyzed 100 time series from biomes across …

Aim Generalized dissimilarity modelling (GDM) is a powerful and unique method for
characterizing and predicting beta diversity, the change in biodiversity over space, time and …

Reducing the rate of global biodiversity loss is a major challenge facing humanity 1, as the
consequences of biological annihilation would be irreversible for humankind 2, 3, 4 …

Integrated high-resolution maps of carbon stocks and biodiversity that identify areas of
potential co-benefits for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation can help …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

Biodiversity is declining in many local communities while also becoming increasingly
homogenized across space. Experiments show that local plant species loss reduces …

Species distribution modelling is central to both fundamental and applied research in
biogeography. Despite widespread use of models, there are still important conceptual …

Global knowledge about the spatial distribution of species is orders of magnitude coarser in
resolution than other geographically-structured environmental datasets such as topography …
