Global correlations of range size and niche breadth, and their relationship to latitude, have
long intrigued ecologists and biogeographers. Study of these patterns has given rise to a …

It is widely recognised that the response of a population to environmental change will be
determined by the eco-evolutionary dynamics of dispersal. Here, modelling the evolution of …

Understanding processes that limit species' ranges has been a core issue in ecology and
evolutionary biology for many decades, and has become increasingly important given the …

The range of resources that a species uses (ie its niche breadth) might determine the
geographical area it can occupy, but consensus on whether a niche breadth–range size …

Understanding where, when and how species' ranges will be modified is both a fundamental
problem and essential to predicting how spatio-temporal environmental changes in abiotic …

Environmental fluctuations are pervasive in nature, but the influence of non-directional
temporal variation on range limits has received scant attention. We synthesize insights from …

Deterministic theories in community ecology suggest that local, niche-based processes,
such as environmental filtering, biotic interactions and interspecific trade-offs largely …

Aim Tropical species are thought to experience and be adapted to narrow ranges of abiotic
conditions. This idea has been invoked to explain a broad array of biological phenomena …

In the Anthropocene, intensifying ecological disturbances pose significant challenges to our
predictive capabilities for ecosystem responses. Macroecology—which focuses on emergent …

Evolutionary ecologists and population biologists have recently considered that ecological
and evolutionary changes are intimately linked and can occur on the same time-scale …
