Species distribution models rarely predict the biology of real populations
Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology. In theory, SDMs capture (at
least part of) species' ecological niches and can be used to make inferences about the …

The evolutionary genomics of species' responses to climate change
JA Aguirre-Liguori, S Ramírez-Barahona… - Nature Ecology & …, 2021 - nature.com
Climate change is a threat to biodiversity. One way that this threat manifests is through
pronounced shifts in the geographical range of species over time. To predict these shifts …

Geographic variation in genetic and demographic performance: new insights from an old biogeographical paradigm
Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

A synthesis of transplant experiments and ecological niche models suggests that range limits are often niche limits
Global change has made it important to understand the factors that shape species'
distributions. Central to this area of research is the question of whether species' range limits …

Evolution-based approach needed for the conservation and silviculture of peripheral forest tree populations
The fate of peripheral forest tree populations is of particular interest in the context of climate

Incorporating intraspecific variation into species distribution models improves distribution predictions, but cannot predict species traits for a wide‐spread plant species
The most common approach to predicting how species ranges and ecological functions will
shift with climate change is to construct correlative species distribution models (SDMs) …

On population abundance and niche structure
Recent published evidence indicates a negative correlation between density of populations
and the distance of their environments to a suitably defined 'niche centroid'. This empirical …
