Lecture: Understanding species diversity

How are global diversity gradients formed? What are the main underlying driving mechanism? Can we tease them apart easily? These are some of the topics addressed in the lecture recorded on the 15th of June 2020 with the title "Understanding Species Diversity: Ecological and Evolutionary Approaches". The lecture was given in the context of the MSC in Palaeontology jointly put together by NOVA . . . [ Read More ]

2019 Edition of the SDM course

We are thrilled to announce the 6th edition of the "Species Distributions Modelling Course: Concepts, Methods, Applications, and Challenges" that Babak Naimi and I give every year.  This is a 7 days course for graduate students, researchers and professional. It introduces the fundamental concepts underpinning species distribution models, or ecological niche models (ENM), describing . . .

sdm R – New platform for species distributions modelling

Ecography has just published a new software not article by Babak Naimi and Miguel Araújo featuring the new sdm R platform for species distributions modelling. Sdm R is an object-oriented, reproducible and extensible, platform for running models of species distribtions. It uses individual species and community-based approaches, enabling ensembles of models to be fitted and evaluated, to . . . [ Read More ]

Species are unlikely to physiologically adapt to increased temperatures

Climate change is altering phenology and distributions of many species and further changes are projected for the 21st century. Can species physiologically adapt to projected climate warming? In a recent "review and synthesis" in Ecology Letters we analysed thermal tolerances of a large number of terrestrial ectotherm (n= 697), endotherm (n=227) and plant (n=1816) species worldwide, and showed that . . .
