Does daily climate variation have an effect on species’ elevational range size? (2017)
Journal Article
Qian, H., Field, R., Zhang, J., & Zhang, Y. (2017). Does daily climate variation have an effect on species’ elevational range size?. Journal of Biogeography, 44(10), 2432-2436. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13065

In their recent paper published in Science (2016, 351, 1437–1439), Chan et al. analysed 137 montane gradients, concluding that they found a novel pattern—a negative relationship between mean elevational range size of species and daily temperature var...

Spatial relationship between biodiversity and geodiversity across a gradient of land-use intensity in high-latitude landscapes (2017)
Journal Article
Tukiainen, H., Alahuhta, J., Field, R., Ala-Hulkko, T., Lampinen, R., & Hjort, J. (2017). Spatial relationship between biodiversity and geodiversity across a gradient of land-use intensity in high-latitude landscapes. Landscape Ecology, 32(5), 1049-1063. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-017-0508-9

Context: ‘Conserving Nature’s stage’ has been advanced as an important conservation principle because of known links between biodiversity and abiotic environmental diversity, especially in sensitive high-latitude environments and at the landscape sca...

Metapopulation modelling of long-term urban habitat-loss scenarios (2017)
Journal Article
Graham, L. J., Haines-Young, R. H., & Field, R. (2017). Metapopulation modelling of long-term urban habitat-loss scenarios. Landscape Ecology, 32(5), 989-1003. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-017-0504-0

Context: Increasing human populations in urban areas pose a threat to species’ persistence through habitat loss and fragmentation. It is therefore essential that we develop methods to investigate critical habitat loss thresholds and least detrimental...
