Species are not most abundant in the centre of their geographic range or climatic niche
The pervasive idea that species should be most abundant in the centre of their geographic
range or centre of their climatic niche is a key assumption in many existing ecological …

Plant extinction risk under climate change: are forecast range shifts alone a good indicator of species vulnerability to global warming?
Abstract Models that couple habitat suitability with demographic processes offer a potentially
improved approach for estimating spatial distributional shifts and extinction risk under …

Common and rare species respond to similar niche processes in macroinvertebrate metacommunities
Ecologists have long investigated why communities are composed of a few common species
and many rare species. Most studies relate rarity to either niche differentiation among …

A conceptual framework for the colonisation of urban areas: the blackbird Turdus merula as a case study
KL Evans, BJ Hatchwell, M Parnell… - Biological …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Despite increasing interest in urban ecology the factors limiting the colonisation of towns
and cities by species from rural areas are poorly understood. This is largely due to the lack …
