The effects of climate on bat morphology across space and time
Ecography, EarlyView.According to Bergmann's and Allen's rules, climate change may drive morphological shifts in species, affecting body size and appendage length. These rules predict that species in colder climates tend to be larger and have shorter appendages to improve thermoregulation. Bats are thought to be sensitive to climate and are therefore expected to respond to

Ecography, EarlyView.Around the world, ecological communities are becoming more similar to one another in a process known as biotic homogenization – an increase in similarity among communities over time. While biotic homogenization has been widely studied among spatial communities, very little attention has been paid to beta diversity between seasonal communities ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView., 2023 Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a major driver of amphibian decline worldwide. The global presence of Bd is driven by a synergy of factors, such as climate, species life history, and amphibian host susceptibility.

Ecography, EarlyView.The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

Ecography, EarlyView.Animals redistribute elements throughout their lives by depositing wastes and carcasses. Growing evidence shows that these zoogeochemical processes enhance landscape diversity and heterogeneity worldwide. We provide a descriptive framework for understanding how direct animal depositions (i.e.
