Nowadays, GIS are emerging as a common information infrastructure that penetrate into more and more aspects of our society. This has given rise to new methodological and data engineering chall...
متن کاملGeographic range size and determinants of avian species richness.
Geographic patterns in species richness are mainly based on wide-ranging species because their larger number of distribution records has a disproportionate contribution to the species richness counts. Here we demonstrate how this effect strongly influences our understanding of what determines species richness. Using both conventional and spatial regression models, we show that for sub-Saharan A...
متن کاملGeographic range size and extinction risk assessment in nomadic species
Geographic range size is often conceptualized as a fixed attribute of a species and treated as such for the purposes of quantification of extinction risk; species occupying smaller geographic ranges are assumed to have a higher risk of extinction, all else being equal. However many species are mobile, and their movements range from relatively predictable to-and-fro migrations to complex irregul...
