Modeling contemporary range size patterns of endemic birds in China: Testing the relative importance of phylogeny, space, and environment
The contemporary range size of endemic birds in China was investigated by studying the relative deterministic importance of phylogeny, space, and environment using a novel maximum likelihood model. The results show that space plays the most influential role in structuring the contemporary range size...
