Improving species distribution models: the value of data on abundance (2014, background): “2004) and community structure and function (Davey et al. 2012), the greater information content of abundance data could also result in models with a greater ability to discriminate species’ range boundaries, and to produce more accurate models of presence–absence.”
Regional variation in climate change winners and losers highlights the rapid loss of cold‐dwelling species (2016, background): “Recent changes in climate have impacted community composition across a number of taxa (Men endez et al., 2006; Lemoine et al., 2007; La Sorte et al., 2009; Davey et al., 2012; De Frenne et al., 2013).”
Citizen science reveals trends in bat populations: The National Bat Monitoring Programme in Great Britain (2015, background): “It is particularly important that rarer species with specialist habitat requirements are equally represented in monitoring schemes as common and widespread habitat generalists, since in some other taxa it has been shown that whilst common or generalist species have increased, specialists have declin”
