Species richness increases with energy availability, yet there is little consensus as to the
exact processes driving this species–energy relationship. The most straightforward …

Species environmental niches are central to ecology, evolution, and global change
research, but their characterization and interpretation depend on the spatial scale …

Most ecological studies use remote sensing to analyze broad‐scale biodiversity patterns,
focusing mainly on taxonomic diversity in natural landscapes. One of the most important …

Recent advancements in information technology and data acquisition have created both
new research opportunities and new challenges for using big data in ornithology. We …

Understanding past and current patterns of species richness is essential for predicting how
these patterns may be affected by future global change. The species energy hypothesis …

Taxonomic diversity of benthic marine invertebrate shelf species declines at present by
nearly an order of magnitude from the tropics to the poles in each hemisphere along the …

Aim Niche theory proposes that increases in species richness along an environmental
gradient are associated with a packing of species inside the niche space or an expansion of …

Species abundances and distributions are changing in response to changing climate and
other anthropogenic drivers but how this translates into how well species can match their …

Productivity is a key driver of ecosystem structure and function, so long‐term studies are
critical to understanding ecosystems with high temporal variation in productivity. In some …
