The distribution of species on the planet is the complex outcome of a myriad of processes operating at multiple temporal and spatial scales. In our research we integrate information on species distributions, phylogenetic comparative methods, and bioclimatic data to understand the climatic niche evolution and its implications to species distributions and diversity gradients.
