No empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that daily climate variation has an effect on species’ elevational range size: Reply to Chan et al. (2018)
Journal Article
Field, R., & Qian, H. (2018). No empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that daily climate variation has an effect on species’ elevational range size: Reply to Chan et al. Journal of Biogeography, 45(12), 2827-2832. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13372

© 2018 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Following our critique, Chan etal. defend the approach used in their original paper. They reveal their “iterative strategy of SEM” (structural equationmodelling), which they claim is “standard” (we show otherwise) and “...
