Potential impacts of projected climate change on biodiversity are often assessed using
single-species bioclimatic 'envelope'models. Such models are a special case of species …

Predictive vegetation modeling (PVM), is defined as predicting the distribution of vegetation
across a landscape based on the relationship between the spatial distribution of vegetation …

Extinctions are often the result of multiple factors that are difficult to disentangle and so
methods for identifying simple and combined types of extinctions are valuable for both basic …

Aim The aim of this study was to test the role of environmental factors and spatially
autocorrelated processes, such as historical fragmentation and dispersal limitation, in …

Aim To evaluate the joint and independent effects of spatial location, landscape composition
and landscape structure on the distribution patterns of bird and carabid beetle assemblages …

The fragmented landscape of the Midwest USA includes prairie remnants embedded in an
agricultural matrix, potentially impermeable to dispersing individuals. We examined butterfly …

The value for biodiversity of large intact areas of native vegetation is well established. The
biodiversity value of regrowth vegetation is also increasingly recognised worldwide …

We assessed the relationship between habitat heterogeneity and bird species richness and
composition within wetlands of the floodplain of the Middle Paraná River, Argentina. Given …

Bacterial community succession was investigated in a field-scale subsurface reactor formed
by a series of wells that received weekly ethanol additions to re-circulating groundwater …

1. Spatial patterns of beta-diversity, an important property of species communities, are less
well-studied than those of local species richness, particularly in insects from tropical …
