Dispersion fields reveal the compositional structure of South American vertebrate assemblages
Nature Communications, 2020 Ecologists continue to debate whether local species assemblages result from habitat filtering or from turnover among the regional species pool. Here the authors develop a “dispersion field” method to mapping species range overlaps, showing that regional ...

Odonate Diversity Patterns in Italy Disclose Intricate Colonization Pathways
Biology, 2022 As a natural bridge between Europe and Africa, Italy occupies a prominent position to understand the biogeography of Europe. The influence of climatic, spatial, and historical factors on current patterns of species richness and turnover (i.e., inter ...

A hierarchical theory of macroecology [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2012 AbstractThe relationships of local population density (N) with body size (M) and distribution (D) have been extensively studied because they reveal how ecological and historical factors structure species communities; however, a unifying model explaining their joint behaviour, has not been developed.

Who Benefits from Recreational Use of Protected Areas?
Ecology and Society, 2010 Public support for protected areas depends, in part, upon clear demonstrations of the importance of the ecosystem services provided by these areas. However, only a limited number of studies have examined the value of protected areas in providing these ...

Areal sizes of high, intermediate, low and total suitable habitats are correlated to the global extinction risk for mammals [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014 The relationships between areal sizes of high, intermediate, low, and total sum of habitats with low, intermediate and high suitability habitat ranges, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) threatened status of global ...

Filtering Effect of Large Rivers on Primate Distribution in the Brazilian Amazonia
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Over a century after Wallace’s proposition of the riverine barrier hypothesis, the role of rivers in the diversification of species remains a matter of interest in Amazon biogeography.
