Abstract

Dispersal is a process common to all organisms, and it is highly variable in details among organisms and across space and time. At large spatial or temporal scales, this process has broad implications for biogeography through both long- and short-distance dispersal events. The study of the relationships between dispersal and the geographic distribution of organisms, advanced by various methodological approaches, is critical to our understanding of forces affecting the world’s biodiversity.

    Citation Excerpt :

    When SDM are projected on the geographical space, high suitability patches may appear in regions far and possibly unreachable from current species occurrence areas (Fig. 1b). However, distribution patterns of species are commonly constrained by historical and current dispersal events (Munguía et al., 2008; Nathan, 2013). Recently, Mendes et al. (2020), based on a virtual species approach, showed that SDM without any dispersal restriction overestimate up to four times species ranges.
