TL;DR

In angiosperms, the adaptive significance of differences between most higher categories, as well as between a large proportion of related species, is most probably associated with reproductive efficiency and successful establishment of seedlings rather than with any of the morphological characteristics of the vegetative parts.

Abstract

Species distribution models (SDMs) are numerical tools that combine observations of species occurrence or abundance with environmental estimates. They are used to gain ecological and evolutionary insights and to predict distributions across landscapes, ...Read More
