Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC) typically refers to the tendency of closely related
species to be more similar to each other in terms of niche than they are to more distant …

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

Aim To synthesize the species distribution modelling (SDM) literature to inform which
variables have been used in MaxEnt models for different taxa and to quantify how frequently …

We provide an overview of conceptual considerations in terminology related to ecological
niche modeling and species distribution modeling, two near-synonymous (but not quite) …

The current distributions of species are often assumed to correspond with the total set of
environmental conditions under which species can persist. When this assumption is …

Hybridisation is increasingly recognised as an important cause of diversification and
adaptation. Here, we show how divergence in male secondary sexual characters between …

Aim Identifying climatic niche shifts and their drivers is important for the accurate prediction
of the risk of biological invasions. The niches of non‐native plants and birds have recently …

Aim Climatic niche breadth (the range of climatic conditions that a species experiences over
space and time) is a fundamental topic in ecology, biogeography and evolution. But what …

Functional connectivity is essential for the long‐term persistence of populations. However,
many studies assess connectivity with a focus on structural connectivity only. Cityscapes …

After its introduction into N orth A merica, E uro‐A sian P hragmites australis became an
aggressive invasive wetland grass along the Atlantic coast of N orth A merica. Its distribution …
