Motivation The availability of user‐friendly, high‐resolution global environmental datasets is
crucial for bioclimatic modelling. For terrestrial environments, WorldClim has served this …

The use of correlative ecological niche models has highly increased in the last decade.
Despite all literature and textbooks in this field, few practical guidelines exist on the correct …

There is an urgent need for more ecologically realistic models for better predicting the effects
of climate change on species' potential geographic distributions. Here we build ecological …

Abstract The Persian Jird, Meriones persicus, is distributed from Eastern Anatolia to
Afghanistan and western Pakistan. Six subspecies were described based on skull features …

Abstract Species Distribution Models (SDMs) combine information on the geographic
occurrence of species with environmental layers to estimate distributional ranges and have …

Aim The two main hypotheses about the Neotropical palaeovegetation, namely that of
Amazonian refugia by Haffer and of the Pleistocene arc by Prado and Gibbs, are still …

Many studies predict that climate change will cause species movement and turnover, but few
have considered the effect of climate change on range fragmentation for current species …

A primary focus of historical biogeography is to understand changes in species ranges,
abundance and genetic connectivity, and changes in community composition. Traditionally …

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

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 …
