Human pressures predict species' geographic range size better than biological traits.

Global change biology - 1 Jun 2015

Di Marco Moreno, Santini Luca

Abstract excerpt

Geographic range size is the manifestation of complex interactions between intrinsic species traits and extrinsic environmental conditions. It is also a fundamental ecological attribute of species and a key extinction risk correlate. Past research has primarily focused on the role of biological and environmental predictors of range size, but macroecological patterns can also be distorted by human activities....
