Spatial variation and predictors of plant species' intrinsic climate sensitivity across the conterminous United States

Understanding how species' sensitivity to climate varies spatially across their ranges and elucidating the important causes is essential for identifying ecologically meaningful geographic units and conservation actions for biodiversity. In this study, we estimated climatic occurr...

Prioritizing site groups for intrinsic biodiversity assets using complementarity and not just rarity

Abstract Conservation practitioners rightfully focus on at‐risk species when valuing biodiversity assets and prioritizing spatial units. However, sites often contain few if any of those species, making valuation and prioritization difficult. A complementarity approach that incorp...
