Scale-sensitivity in the measurement and interpretation of environmental niches
Species environmental niches are central to ecology, evolution, and global change
research, but their characterization and interpretation depend on the spatial scale …

A quantitative synthesis of the importance of variables used in MaxEnt species distribution models
Aim To synthesize the species distribution modelling (SDM) literature to inform which
variables have been used in MaxEnt models for different taxa and to quantify how frequently …

Genetically informed ecological niche models improve climate change predictions
We examined the hypothesis that ecological niche models (ENM s) more accurately predict
species distributions when they incorporate information on population genetic structure, and …

Modeling the distribution of odonates: a review
Species distribution models (SDMs) can be used to answer a variety of questions about
Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) distributions because locality data for species are …

Signatures of local adaptation along environmental gradients in a range‐expanding damselfly (Ischnura elegans)
Insect distributions are shifting rapidly in response to climate change and are undergoing
rapid evolutionary change. We investigate the molecular signatures underlying local …

Thermal niche predictors of alpine plant species
Within the context of species distribution models, scrutiny arises from the choice of
meaningful environmental predictors. Thermal conditions are not the sole driver, but are the …

Ecology and sexual selection: evolution of wing pigmentation in calopterygid damselflies in relation to latitude, sexual dimorphism, and speciation
Our knowledge about how the environment influences sexual selection regimes and how
ecology and sexual selection interact is still limited. We performed an integrative study of …

Niche differentiation, reproductive interference, and range expansion
Understanding species distributions and predicting future range shifts requires considering
all relevant abiotic factors and biotic interactions. Resource competition has received the …

Invasion of Old World Phragmites australis in the New World: precipitation and temperature patterns combined with human influences redesign the invasive niche
After its introduction into N orth A merica, E uro‐A sian P hragmites australis became an
aggressive invasive wetland grass along the Atlantic coast of N orth A merica. Its distribution …
