Age‐related trends in niche position and specialization in Neotropical vertebrates
Ecography, EarlyView.Species' niche positions and breadths within a region's environmental space, measured through ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA) as marginality and specialization, can reflect evolutionary constraints related to lineage age. The ‘internal incumbency' hypothesis predicts that older species, due to competitive preemption, occupy more central niche ...

The contribution of vegetation and landscape configuration for predicting environmental change impacts on Iberian birds [PDF]
, 2011 Although climate is known to be one of the key factors determining animal species distributions amongst others, projections of global change impacts on their distributions often rely on bioclimatic envelope models.

Plant adaptive strategies respond to environmental change across European grassland habitats
Ecography, EarlyView.Grassland ecosystems are facing rapid and ongoing change driven by intensified land‐use and accelerated climate change, highlighting the urgent need to understand their potential adaptation and response to environmental change. We analyzed data from 52 980 vegetation plots spanning all major grassland habitats in Europe (including alpine, rocky, sandy,

Ecography, EarlyView.Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) arise from the interplay of historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes, yet these drivers may differ across landforms. Mountains, with steep elevational and climatic gradients, often sustain distinct diversity dynamics compared with adjacent lowlands, where vertical climatic gradients are weak and human ...

Ecography, EarlyView.The abundance center hypothesis (ACH) posits that species abundance peaks at distribution centers; however, empirical support remains inconsistent. This study tested the generality of the ACH and investigated species traits as mediators of abundance–distance relationships.

Ecography, EarlyView.Mountain ecosystems are often interpreted through the lens of the ‘sky island' model, where high‐elevation habitats function as isolated archipelagos. However, this model's applicability to massive, topographically complex mountain ranges where highlands are continuous and lowlands are fragmented remains untested.

N‐SDM 2.0: a reengineered software with extended features for nested species distribution modelling
Ecography, EarlyView.Species distribution models (SDMs) are central tools for predicting and forecasting how species respond to environmental changes, yet their reliability depends on accurately capturing ecological processes across spatial scales while accounting for uneven data availability and resolution.
