Ecological Niche Modeling of Invasive Amphibians

Invasive amphibians represent a globally significant threat to native herpetofaunal biodiversity through predation,competition, habitat modification, and pathogen transmission -- most critically the chytrid fungus Batrachochytriumdendrobatidis (Bd), which is strongly associated with the range expansion of the American bullfrog (Lithobatescatesbeianus ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Ecological Niche Modeling for Rare Species

Ecological niche modelling (ENM) -- using species occurrence records and environmental predictor layers to characterisethe climatic and abiotic conditions within which a species can maintain viable populations -- is the primary tool forpredicting species distributions across unsampled areas and future climate scenarios, with particular value for rare ...

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual
