Measuring the edges of species' geographic ranges

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The fundamental unit of spatial ecology is a species range: the geographical area that it occupies. Species ranges are delineated by range edges (also known as boundaries or limits). Why range edges occur where they do and not elsewhere, and what makes them move, has been an active area of research since the 19th century.

INDITEK‐2.0: A Bayesian inverse modelling framework for mechanistic evolutionary processes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Mechanistic eco‐evolutionary models are powerful tools for understanding how life diversified over geological timescales, yet estimating their parameters remains a key challenge. The high computational requirements of these models make probabilistic inversion methods unfeasible.

A Threat‐Scoring Framework Using Crowdsourced Data Indicates High Threat Levels in Fossorial Shieldtail Snakes

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Reliable estimates of species distributions are crucial for understanding their conservation needs. Yet for many species, IUCN largely relies on expert‐drawn ranges, which are often inaccurate. Focusing on shieldtail snakes in peninsular India, we combined citizen science, literature, field, and museum records to create improved distribution maps for ...

Conservation Priority Areas for Endemic and Threatened Bird Species in the Brazilian Amazon Under Climate Change: A Multifaceted Approach

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Climate change is projected to substantially erode taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity of endemic and threatened birds in the Brazilian Amazon by 2100. Integrating these dimensions with climate refugia revealed priority conservation areas, particularly in the eastern Amazon, highlighting where conservation efforts can best safeguard ...

Predicting global habitat suitability and invasion risks of the red gum lerp psyllid Glycaspis brimblecombei under current and future climates

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ecological niche modelling identified highly suitable habitats for Glycaspis brimblecombei across tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. Future climate projections indicate a moderate contraction of suitable areas, with persistence of core climatic suitability. Model performance was robust (AUC = 0.880; TSS = 0.634; CBI = 0.803), with temperature
