#SpeciesDistribution
Could expanding the study area refine #ConservationPlanning? 🌏
This new study proposes a framework that integrates species occurrences from broader biogeographic regions, possibly enhancing #SpeciesDistribution predictions and #ConservationEffectivenes

🌊 As #oceans warm, reef #fishes are shifting their ranges. Relying on a single method can miss species at their range edges, while combining #eDNA and visual surveys supports more accurate assessments of #speciesdistribution 🐠

Brown #bears in #Europe follow their #food. A new study in 'Global Change Biology' shows how species interactions and climate change together shape where bears can thrive across the continent. #ClimateChange #SpeciesDistribution #Habitat

[3/3] Cette règle d’organisation de la vie pourrait rendre la distribution de la biodiversité prévisible et guider les priorités de conservation. Protéger les hotspots, qui concentrent la diversité, est donc crucial pour préserver les écosystèmes. #geography #biogeography #speciesdistribution

[2/3] Ce modèle se vérifie à l’échelle planétaire pour des espèces aussi diverses que les mammifères ou les arbres. Ce phénomène appelé filtrage environnemental montre que seules les espèces capables de tolérer les conditions locales survivent. #geography #biogeography #speciesdistribution

[1/3] L’université d’Umeå et de Reading révèle une règle simple et universelle : dans chaque région, la biodiversité se concentre dans un "noyau" ou hotspot, puis décroît progressivement en s’éloignant de cette zone optimale. #geography #biogeography #speciesdistribution

Interesting read on a core question in species redistribution research: abundance vs. occurrence data. Turns out, the choice really matters – authors show that they lead to different estimates. 🤔 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

How would estimation of geographic range shifts of marine fishes be different when using occurrence and abundance data?
Aim Geographic range shifts are a common species' response to climate change. While occurrence data are commonly used to estimate species' geographical range shifts, ongoing debate suggests that loc...

The Wallace Line: A natural border that no species crosses: The Wallace Line divides species in Southeast Asia. A deep ocean trench prevents animal migration. Even flying birds rarely cross it.
