Species delimitation is the act of identifying species‐level biological diversity. In recent
years, the field has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of methods available for …

Aim Identifying and protecting refugia is a priority for conservation under projected
anthropogenic climate change, because of their demonstrated ability to facilitate the survival …

Under climate change, species unable to track their niche via range shifts are largely reliant
on genetic variation to adapt and persist. Genomic vulnerability predictions are used to …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

The growth of data analysis techniques proceeds at astounding rates and it is often difficult
to maintain familiarity with its development. So too is the growth of sub-disciplines in …

Prediction of species' distributions is central to diverse applications in ecology, evolution and
conservation science. There is increasing electronic access to vast sets of occurrence …

Species distribution models (SDMs) use spatial environmental data to make inferences on
species' range limits and habitat suitability. Conceptually, these models aim to determine …

An appreciation of the scale and frequency of climatic oscillations in the past few million
years is modifying our views on how evolution proceeds. Such major events caused …

Cataloging the very large number of undescribed species of insects could be greatly
accelerated by automated DNA based approaches, but procedures for large-scale species …

Ecology and historical (phylogeny-based) biogeography have much to offer one another, but
exchanges between these fields have been limited. Historical biogeography has become …
