Recent global changes have decoupled species richness from specialization patterns in North American birds

2019-03-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Aim</h4> Theory suggests that increasing productivity and climate stability toward the tropics can explain the latitudinal richness gradient by favouring specialization. A positive relationship between species richness and specialization should thus emerge as a fundamental biogeographic pattern. However, land use and climate change disproportionally increase the local extirpation risk for specialists, potenti...
