Specialized subterranean species are iconic examples of convergent evolution driven by
environmental constraints, representing an ideal model system for eco-evolutionary studies …

Accurate measures of species abundance are essential to identify conservation strategies. N-
mixture models are increasingly used to estimate abundance on the basis of species counts …

The extent to which closely related species share similar niches remains highly debated.
Ecological niches are increasingly analysed by combining distribution records with broad …

Individual diet specialization (IS) has important community‐and population‐level
implications and its ecological drivers are actively investigated. Here, to test the hypothesis …

Simple Summary Studies on species' trophic niches are essential to understand the
characteristics of species' ecology and life traits, as well as to improve conservation …

The use of species distribution models (SDMs) to predict local abundance has been often
proposed and contested. We tested whether SDMs at different spatiotemporal resolutions …

Species are not uniformly distributed across the landscape. For every species, there should
be few favoured sites where abundance is high and many other sites of lower suitability …

The potential distribution of a cryptic, naturally rare large mammal, the giant armadillo
Priodontes maximus, was explored in fragments of Cerrado and Atlantic Forest in the state of …

Aim Local suitability estimated with species distribution models (SDMs) could indicate the
maximum abundance attainable by species. Often the abundance–suitability relationship is …

To the Editor—The need to publish biodiversity data to ensure study replicability and to
identify important conservation areas is an emerging challenge. Several journals now …
