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 …

Species distribution models (SDM) are commonly used to obtain hypotheses on either the
realized or the potential distribution of species. The reliability and meaning of these …

The delineation of essential fish habitats is necessary to identify, design and prioritize
efficient marine protected area (MPA) networks with fishery objectives, capable, in addition …

Interactions between climate change and non‐native invasive species may combine to
increase invasion risk to native ecosystems. Changing climate creates risk as new terrain …

Coastal zones are productive areas that serve as nursery grounds for a large number of
marine species. However, the processes involved in survival success during the juvenile …

Predicting changes in potential habitat for endangered species as a result of global warming
requires considering more than future climate conditions; it is also necessary to evaluate …

Greater sage‐grouse C entrocercus urophasianus (B onaparte) currently occupy
approximately half of their historical distribution across western N orth A merica. Sage …

Global change poses significant challenges for ecosystem conservation. At regional scales,
climate change may lead to extensive shifts in species distributions and widespread …

Spatial and temporal constraints on dispersal explain the absence of species from areas
with potentially suitable conditions. Previous studies have shown that post-glacial …

Prioritizing new areas for conservation in the Hyrcanian mountain forests is important
because future climate change is an immediate threat to endangered species in these …
