Biogeographical Variation in Termite Distributions Alters Global Deadwood Decay Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-09-11 Stephanie J. Law, Habacuc Flores-Moreno, Catherine L. Parr, Stephen Adu-Bredu, Katherine Bunney, William K. Cornwell, Fidèle Evouna Ondo, Jeff R. Powell, Gabriel W. Quansah, Mark P. Robertson, Amy E. Zanne, Paul Eggleton
Termites are a crucial group of macroinvertebrates regulating rates of deadwood decomposition across tropical and subtropical regions. When examining global patterns of deadwood decay, termites are treated as a homogenous group. There exist key biogeographical differences in termite distribution. One such clear distinction is the distribution of fungus-growing termites (FGT, subfamily Macrotermitinae)

The Best of Two Worlds: Using Stacked Generalisation for Integrating Expert Range Maps in Species Distribution Models Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-09-10 Julian Oeser, Damaris Zurell, Frieder Mayer, Emrah Çoraman, Nia Toshkova, Stanimira Deleva, Ioseb Natradze, Petr Benda, Astghik Ghazaryan, Sercan Irmak, Nijat Hasanov, Gulnar Guliyeva, Mariya Gritsina, Tobias Kuemmerle
Species distribution models (SDMs) are powerful tools for assessing suitable habitats across large areas and at fine spatial resolution. Yet, the usefulness of SDMs for mapping species' realised distributions is often limited since data biases or missing information on dispersal barriers or biotic interactions hinder them from accurately delineating species' range limits. One way to overcome this limitation

Global Distribution of Mammalian Cradles and Museums is Driven by Past Climate Dynamics and Present Water–Energy Balance Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-09-10 Matheus L. Araujo, Marco Túlio P. Coelho, Fernanda A. S. Cassemiro, Thiago F. Rangel
To describe worldwide distribution of mammalian cradles and museums using the rates of phylogenetic lineage turnover as a surrogate. Additionally, we investigated the influences of current water–energy dynamics, climate instability, past climate changes and elevational ranges on the distribution of these evolutionary zones.

Hindcasted Body Temperatures Reveal Underestimated Thermal Stress Faced by Intertidal Species Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-09-05 Lin-Xuan Ma, Jie Wang, Mark W. Denny, Yun-Wei Dong
As global climate changes, there is a clear mismatch between the temporal and spatial characteristics of body temperature and environmental temperature, confounding the assessment of thermal stress for organisms in many ecological studies. Here, we hindcast the hourly body temperatures of intertidal molluscs to explore the differences between them and environmental temperatures (air and water temperatures)

Functional Traits of the World's Late Quaternary Terrestrial Mammalian Predators Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-31 Eamonn I. F. Wooster, Erick J. Lundgren, Mairin Balisi, Rhys T. Lemoine, Christopher J. Sandom, Jens-Christian Svenning, John Rowan, Chris J. Jolly, Grant D. Linley, Mitchell. A. Cowan, Nick Wright, Dylan Westaway, Dale Nimmo, Hannah Nichols, Owen S. Middleton
Terrestrial predators play key roles in cycling nutrients, as well as limiting prey populations, and shaping the behaviour of their prey. Prehistoric, historic and ongoing declines of the world's predators have reshaped terrestrial ecosystems and are a topic of conservation concern. However, the availability of ecologically relevant predator functional traits is limited, hampering efforts to understand

Disentangling the Influence of Phylogeny and Traits on Climatic Risk of European Butterflies Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-23 Andros T. Gianuca, Oliver Schweiger, Luis Mauricio Bini, Martin Wiemers, Victor Rocha di Cavalcanti, José Alexandre Diniz-Filho, Michiel F. WallisDeVries, Niklaus E. Zimmermann, Josef Settele
The relative importance of traits and phylogeny to predict species extinction risk is unclear and it depends on which traits are measured and their phylogenetic conservatism. Here, we evaluate the power of functional traits, ecological characteristics, such as range size and specialization, and phylogeny to predict climatic risks in European butterflies.

What is the Relationship Between Plant Trait Diversity and Geodiversity? A Plot-Based, Pan-European Analysis Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-21 Grant Vernham, Joseph J. Bailey, Richard Field, Franziska Schrodt
Heterogeneity of the Earth's abiotic surface and subsurface (geodiversity) is increasingly recognised as an important driver of biodiversity. Theoretically, species' traits should match to abiotic conditions in the local environment. Here, we test this for the first time at a continental extent by analysing the relationships between geodiversity and plant trait diversity in forested vegetation plots

The Phylogenetic Structure Patterns of Angiosperm Species and Their Determinants in East Eurasia Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-21 Wenqi Song, Yichao Li, Ao Luo, Xiangyan Su, Yunpeng Liu, Yuan Luo, Ke Jiang, Denis Sandanov, Wei Wang, Zhiheng Wang
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework requires that evolutionary histories of species should be considered in conservation planning. The phylogenetic structure of species assemblages quantifies species evolutionary histories and increasingly becomes an endeavour for ecologists. Understanding the geographic patterns of phylogenetic structure of species assemblages and their drivers can
