The division of food space among mammalian species on biomes

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how species' ecological partitioning functions across biomes is fundamental to macroecology and conservation biology. Here, we examine the global distribution of dietary strategies in terrestrial mammals, focusing on how biome specialization modulates trophic diversity and structure at a broad geographical scale.

Unraveling the role of environmental and anthropogenic drivers in shaping global patterns in mammal diversity

Ecography, EarlyView.
Patterns in functional and phylogenetic diversity reflect ecological and evolutionary relationships among taxa, and thus can offer key insights into the mechanisms underlying species distributions. However, disentangling the relative influence of proximate environmental drivers versus biogeographic evolutionary history can be a challenge.

Where are the tropical plants? A call for better inclusion of tropical plants in studies investigating and predicting the effects of climate change

Frontiers of Biogeography, 2016
Tropical plant species are systematically underrepresented in large-scale analyses or synthesis looking at the potential effects of global climate change.

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Evolutionary trajectories of multiple defense traits across phylogenetic and geographic scales in Vitis

Ecography, EarlyView.
The processes driving defense trait correlations may vary within and between species based on ecological or environmental contexts. However, most studies of plant defense theory fail to address this potential for shifts in trait correlations across scales.

Experimental evidence of climate change extinction risk in Neotropical montane epiphytes

Nature Communications
Climate change is conjectured to endanger tropical species, particularly in biodiverse montane regions, but accurate estimates of extinction risk are limited by a lack of empirical data demonstrating tropical species’ sensitivity to climate. To fill this
