🐦 Is local species richness regulated, and if so, how? In our new paper in 🌍 Global Ecology and Biogeography, David Storch and I show that diversity-dependent colonization regulates local richness, while variation in extinction rates drives differences among communities. doi.org/10.1111/geb....

🌿 New #Science paper with Czech ecologists shows that species richness in terrestrial #vertebrates aligns more clearly with energy (temperature, productivity) when studied in #climate space rather than geographic space 🌎🦎🌡️ 👉 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Consistent energy-diversity relationships in terrestrial vertebrates

Ecologists have long proposed that environments providing more energy can support more species, yet empirical evidence frequently contradicts this expectation. We argue that such inconsistencies resul...
