The ecological co‐dependency between plants and hummingbirds is a classic example of a
mutualistic interaction: hummingbirds rely on floral nectar to fuel their rapid metabolisms …

Energy, nutrients and organisms move over landscapes, connecting ecosystems across
space and time. Meta‐ecosystem theory investigates the emerging properties of local …

Biodiversity conservation faces a methodological conundrum: Biodiversity measurement
often relies on species, most of which are rare at various scales, especially prone to …

The lack of high‐resolution distribution maps for freshwater species across large extents
fundamentally challenges biodiversity conservation worldwide. We devised a simple …

The performance of species distribution models (SDMs) is known to be affected by analysis
grain and positional error of species occurrences. Coarsening of the analysis grain has …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have become a common tool in studies of species–
environment relationships but can be negatively affected by positional uncertainty of …

How traits affect speciation is a long-standing question in evolution. We investigate whether
speciation rates are affected by the traits themselves or by the rates of their evolution, in …

Context Species distribution models are widely used in ecology. The selection of
environmental variables is a critical step in SDMs, nowadays compounded by the increasing …

Aim Aggregated species occurrence data are increasingly accessible through public
databases for the analysis of temporal trends in the geographic distributions of species …

Abstract Aim Species distribution models (SDMs) that integrate presence‐only and presence–
absence data offer a promising avenue to improve information on species' geographic …
