Ecological niche structure determines rangewide abundance patterns of species
(2012-09-03)Spatial abundance patterns across species’ ranges have seen intense attention in macroecology and biogeography. One key hypothesis has been that abundance declines with geographic distance from the range center (‘abundant-center ... -

Species' geographic distributions through time: Playing catchup with changing climates
(Springer Verlag, 2012-03-02)Species’ ranges are often treated as a rather fixed characteristic, rather than a fluid, ever-changing manifestation of their ecological requirements and dispersal abilities. Paleontologists generally have had a more ... -
Learning to Ignore Distracters
(American Psychological Association, 2012-03)Eye tracking has indicated that older and young adults process distracters similarly when reading single sentences. The present study extended this approach by presenting short paragraphs, sentence by sentence. Eye tracking ... -
