Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology. In theory, SDMs capture (at
least part of) species' ecological niches and can be used to make inferences about the …

Recent theory and empirical evidence have provided new insights regarding how
evolutionary forces interact to shape adaptation at stable and transient range margins …

We urgently need to predict species responses to climate change to minimize future
biodiversity loss and ensure we do not waste limited resources on ineffective conservation …

The pervasive idea that species should be most abundant in the centre of their geographic
range or centre of their climatic niche is a key assumption in many existing ecological …

Current species extinction rates are at unprecedentedly high levels. While human activities
can be the direct cause of some extinctions, it is becoming increasingly clear that species …

Human land-use results in widespread range change across taxa. Anthropogenic pressures
can result in species' realized niches expanding, shifting, or contracting. Marginalization …

Historically, many biologists assumed that evolution and ecology acted independently
because evolution occurred over distances too great to influence most ecological patterns …

Correlational ecological niche models have seen intensive use and exploration as a means
of estimating the limits of actual and potential geographic distributions of species, yet their …

Environmental change is multidimensional, with local anthropogenic stressors and global
climate change interacting to differentially impact populations throughout a species' …

A long‐standing hypothesis in biogeography is that a species' abundance is highest at the
centre of its geographical or environmental space and decreases toward the edges. Several …
