With ever-growing data availability and computational power at our disposal, we now have
the capacity to use process-explicit models more widely to reveal the ecological and …

Geographic range size has long fascinated ecologists and evolutionary biologists, yet our
understanding of the factors that cause variation in range size among species and across …

Climate's effect on global biodiversity is typically viewed through the lens of temperature,
humidity and resulting ecosystem productivity,,,,–. However, it is not known whether …

Understanding the origins of biodiversity has been an aspiration since the days of early
naturalists. The immense complexity of ecological, evolutionary, and spatial processes …

Speciation is driven by the evolution of reproductive isolating barriers that reduce, and
ultimately prevent, substantial gene flow between lineages. Despite its central role in …

Pioneer naturalists such as Whewell, Lyell, Humboldt, Darwin and Wallace acknowledged
the interactions between ecological and evolutionary forces, as well as the roles of …

Much of what we know about speciation comes from detailed studies of well‐known model
systems. Although there have been several important syntheses on speciation, few (if any) …

Earth is changing rapidly and so are many plant species' ranges. Here, we synthesize eco-
evolutionary patterns found in plant range studies and how knowledge of species ranges …

'Species' are central to understanding the origin and dynamics of biological diversity;
explaining why lineages split into multiple distinct species is one of the main goals of …

The main processes classically evoked for promoting reproductive isolation and speciation
are geographic separation reducing gene flow among populations, divergent selection, and …
