Niche breadth predicts geographical range size: a general ecological pattern
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 …

The shape and temporal dynamics of phylogenetic trees arising from geographic speciation
Phylogenetic trees often depart from the expectations of stochastic models, exhibiting
imbalance in diversification among lineages and slowdowns in the rate of lineage …

Niche and range size patterns suggest that speciation begins in small, ecologically diverged populations in North American monkeyflowers (Mimulus spp.)
Closely related species (eg, sister taxa) often occupy very different ecological niches and
can exhibit large differences in geographic distributions despite their shared evolutionary …

Influence of phylogeny and ploidy on species ranges of North American angiosperms
SL Martin, BC Husband - Journal of Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Species differ widely in the size and ecological characteristics of their geographic ranges.
This variation reflects, in part, differences in ecological tolerance among taxa, but the …

Quaternary climate change and the geographic ranges of mammals
A species' range can be a proxy for its ecological well-being. Species with small and
shrinking range distributions are particularly vulnerable to extinction. Future climate change …

Sympatric speciation in birds is rare: insights from range data and simulations
Sympatric speciation is now accepted as theoretically plausible and a likely explanation for
divergence in a handful of taxa, but its contribution to large-scale patterns of speciation …
