Species respond dynamically to climate change and exhibit time lags. Consequently, species may not occupy their full climatic niche during range shifting. Here, we assessed tracking recent shifts of European United States (US) birds. Using data from two bird atlases the North American Breeding Bird Survey between 1980s 2010s, analysed overlap based on kernel density estimation. Phylogenetic multiple regression was used assess effect morphological, ecological biogeographic traits metrics....
Abstract Many tools informing preventive invasion management build on the assumption that introduced species will conserve their climatic niches outside native ranges. Previous research testing validity of this found contradictory results regarding niche conservatism vs. switching for non-native species. An open question is in how far these contradictions reflect context dependency, yet only few studies compared dynamics to multiple regions. Here, we used an ordination-based approach...
1. Invasive alien species pose a growing threat to global biodiversity, necessitating evidence-based prevention measures. Species distribution models (SDMs) are useful tool for quantifying the potential of in non-native areas and deriving blacklists based on establishment risk. Yet, uncertainties due different modelling decisions may affect predictive accuracy robustness such blacklists. We thus aim assess relevance three distinct sources uncertainty SDM blacklists: data, environmental data...
