Worldwide patterns in species richness of falconiformes: analytical null models, geometric constraints, and the mid-domain effect Padrões mundiais de riqueza de espécies de Falconiformes: modelos nulos analíticos, restrições geométricas e o efeito do domínio médio

Recently, the hypothesis that the geographic distribution of species could be influenced by the shape of the domain edges, the so-called Mid-Domain Effect (MDE), has been included as one of the five credible hypotheses for explaining spatial gradients in species richness, despite all the unsuccessfu...
