Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future
Ecography, EarlyView.Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

From the Galalpagos to Tongariro: Recognizing and saving the most important places in the world [PDF]
, 2009 Protected areas are one of the less glamorous areas of international environmental law. They are commonly overshadowed by what are perceived as much more dramatic topics, which capture the public attention to a much greater degree.1 This is a highly ...

Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide
Ecography, EarlyView.Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

Helictochloa lusitanica. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2018 [PDF]
, 2018 This species is endemic to northwestern Portugal. It is assessed as Vulnerable based on the very small area of occurrence, approximately 20 km2, although this is likely to be an underestimate, since point records may not available for all subpopulations.

Lagged responses in the composition of small mammal communities to a century of climate change
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change has widespread effects on the distribution, abundance and behavior of species around the world, leading to the reshuffling of ecological communities. However, it remains unclear whether individual species' range shifts scale up to result in communities whose rate of change lag, lead, or track the rate of climate change. We capitalized on

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs
Ecography, EarlyView.Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.
