Combining geodiversity with climate and topography to account for threatened species richness (2016)
Journal Article
Tukiainen, H., Bailey, J. J., Field, R., Kangas, K., & Hjort, J. (in press). Combining geodiversity with climate and topography to account for threatened species richness. Conservation Biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.12799

Improved understanding of threatened species diversity is important for long-term conservation planning and natural area management, especially under ongoing global change. Geodiversity – the diversity of earth surface materials, forms and processes... Read More about Combining geodiversity with climate and topography to account for threatened species richness.

Topography-driven isolation, speciation and a global increase of endemism with elevation (2016)
Journal Article
Steinbauer, M. J., Field, R., Grytnes, J. A., Trigas, P., Ah-Peng, C., Attore, F., …De Sanctis, M. (2016). Topography-driven isolation, speciation and a global increase of endemism with elevation. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 25(9), 1097-1107. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.12469

Aim: Higher-elevation areas on islands and continental mountains tend to be separated by longer distances, predicting higher endemism at higher elevations; our study is the first to test the generality of the predicted pattern. We also compare it emp... Read More about Topography-driven isolation, speciation and a global increase of endemism with elevation.

Biogeographic ranges do not support niche theory in radiating Canary Island plant clades (2016)
Journal Article
Steinbauer, M. J., Field, R., Fernández-Palacios, J.-M., Irl, S. D., Rüdiger, O., Schaefer, H., & Beierkuhnlein, C. (2016). Biogeographic ranges do not support niche theory in radiating Canary Island plant clades. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 25(7), 792-804. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.12425

Aim: Ecological niche concepts, in combination with biogeographic history, underlie our understanding of biogeographic ranges. Two pillars of this understanding are competitive displacement and niche conservatism. The competitive displacement hypothe...
