Reviewing and benchmarking ecological modelling practices in the context of land use
Ecography, EarlyView.Despite habitat loss and degradation are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss, different conclusions have been drawn about the importance of land‐use or land‐cover (LULC) change for biodiversity. Differences may be due to the difficulty of framing a coherent model design to assess LULC effects.

Ecography, EarlyView.Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

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 ...

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.

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends
Ecography, EarlyView.Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...
