Whether phylogenetic lineages and population expansions were consistent with younger Pleistocene climate fluctuation hypotheses or much older events predicted by pre‐Pleistocene vicariance hypotheses is determined and concordance in spatial patterns of genetic divergence and diversity among species is assessed.

A multiscale connectivity framework is illustrated to aid habitat conservation prioritization in the context of changing land use and climate to identify priority conservation areas for both core habitat and critical corridor or stepping stone habitats.
Comparing sample bias correction methods for species distribution modeling using virtual species

- 1 March 2021
A key assumption in species distribution modeling (SDM) with presence-background (PB) methods is that sampling of occurrence localities is unbiased and that any sampling bias is proportional to the…
