The Conditioned Environmental Center-Periphery Hypothesis of Biogeography: Statistical Evidence From Tree Species. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe propose the following new environmental center‐periphery hypothesis that is conditioned: “On an environmental gradient, a given species is able to cover a certain range. For environmental gradients, where natural truncation of the environmental gradient is not limiting, the highest probability of occurrence is found away from the range's endpoints ...
