There is an urgent need to understand species and community responses to climatic and
ecological changes to predict biodiversity patterns given anticipated global change. The …

Terrestrial ecosystems encompass a vast and vital component of Earth's biodiversity and
ecosystem services. The effect of increased anthropogenic dominance on terrestrial …

Studies in biogeography and macroecology have been increasing massively since climate
and biodiversity databases became easily accessible. Climate simulations for past, present …

It has been proposed that because marine turtles have environmentally determined sex by
incubation temperature, elevated temperatures might skew sex ratios to unsustainable …

Motivation In order to understand how species evolutionarily responded to Plio‐Pleistocene
climate oscillations (eg in terms of speciation, extinction, migration and adaptation), it is first …

The projected rise in global mean sea levels places many freshwater turtle species at risk of
saltwater intrusion into freshwater habitats. Freshwater turtles are disproportionately more …

The Cenozoic topographic development of the Himalaya‐Tibet orogen (HTO) substantially
affected the paleoenvironment and biodiversity patterns of High Asia. However, concepts on …

Ecological niche modeling (ENM) is a quantitative approach to predict species' abiotic
requirements. It is a correlative technique, requiring geographically explicit information on …

Past responses to environmental change provide vital baseline data for estimating the
potential resilience of extant taxa to future change. Here, we investigate the latitudinal range …

Understanding how and why biodiversity is structured across the globe has been central to
ecology, evolution, and biogeography even before those disciplines took their modern …
