ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Predicting species distributions from small numbers of occurrence records: a test case using cryptic geckos in Madagascar

Richard G. Pearson, Christopher J. Raxworthy, Miguel Nakamura et al. · 27 Sep 2006

Abstract Aim Techniques that predict species potential distributions by combining observed occurrence records with environmental variables show much potential for application across a range of biogeographical analyses. Some of the most promising applications relate to species for which occurrence records are scarce, due to cryptic habits, locally restricted distributions or low sampling effort. However, the…

Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures

Jörg Tews, Ulrich Brose, Volker Grimm et al. · 22 Dec 2003

Abstract Aim In a selected literature survey we reviewed studies on the habitat heterogeneity–animal species diversity relationship and evaluated whether there are uncertainties and biases in its empirical support. Location World‐wide. Methods We reviewed 85 publications for the period 1960–2003. We screened each publication for terms that were used to define habitat heterogeneity, the animal…

Maps of Pleistocene sea levels in Southeast Asia: shorelines, river systems and time durations

Harold K. Voris · 1 Sep 2000

Abstract Aim Glaciation and deglaciation and the accompanying lowering and rising of sea levels during the late Pleistocene are known to have greatly affected land mass configurations in Southeast Asia. The objective of this report is to provide a series of maps that estimate the areas of exposed land in the Indo‐Australian region during periods…

The distance decay of similarity in biogeography and ecology

Jeffrey C. Nekola, Peter S. White · 1 Jul 1999

Summary Aim Our aim was to understand how similarity changes with distance in biological communities, to use the distance decay perspective as quantitative technique to describe biogeographic pattern, and to explore whether growth form, dispersal type, rarity, or support affected the rate of distance decay in similarity. Location North American spruce‐fir forests, Appalachian montane spruce‐fir…

Journal of Biogeography template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Biogeography format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Biogeography template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Biogeography use?
Journal of Biogeography uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Journal of Biogeography 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Biogeography?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Journal of Biogeography document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Biogeography template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Biogeography format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Journal of Biogeography?
Wiley journal (USG class). It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Wiley.
