The influence of paleoclimate on present-day patterns in biodiversity and ecosystems
Earth's climate has experienced strong changes on timescales ranging from decades to
millions of years. As biodiversity has evolved under these circumstances, dependence on …

PaleoView: a tool for generating continuous climate projections spanning the last 21 000 years at regional and global scales
It has been difficult to access projections of global‐scale climate change with high temporal
resolution spaning the late Pleistocene and Holocene. This has limited our ability to discern …

Global beta-diversity of angiosperm trees is shaped by Quaternary climate change
As Earth's climate has varied strongly through geological time, studying the impacts of past
climate change on biodiversity helps to understand the risks from future climate change …

Using species distribution modeling to delineate the botanical richness patterns and phytogeographical regions of China
The millions of plant specimens that have been collected and stored in Chinese herbaria
over the past~ 110 years have recently been digitized and geo-referenced. Here we use this …

Towards an eco-evolutionary understanding of endemism hotspots and refugia
Background Refugia are island-like habitats that are linked to long-term environmental
stability and, as a result, high endemism. Conservation of refugia and endemism hotspots …

How to design trait-based analyses of community assembly mechanisms: Insights and guidelines from a literature review
One of the fundamental challenges in ecology is to identify the signature of assembly
mechanisms resulting from patterns of community composition. For this purpose, the trait …
