🐦 Is local species richness regulated, and if so, how? In our new paper in 🌍 Global Ecology and Biogeography, David Storch and I show that diversity-dependent colonization regulates local richness, while variation in extinction rates drives differences among communities. doi.org/10.1111/geb....

🌿 New #Science paper with Czech ecologists shows that species richness in terrestrial #vertebrates aligns more clearly with energy (temperature, productivity) when studied in #climate space rather than geographic space 🌎🦎🌡️ 👉 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🌍 New in Science: Consistent energy–diversity relationships in terrestrial vertebrates Co-authored by @elbohdalkova.bsky.social & David Storch from @cts.cuni.cz 📌 Temperature drives richness in ectotherms (metabolic theory) and has indirect effects in endotherms 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
