Thoughts (2024.12.10)

1. The effective size of species' geographic range.

2. The determinants of species-level skewness in thermal niche.

3. Measuring niche with entropy.

4. Scaling from individual home range to species' geographic range.

5. Scale-depdent of species' coexistence.

6. The generalized price equation for ecological niches.

7. On estiamting extinction risk with species-area relationship.

8. Accounting for climate variability in SDMs.

9. Accounting for positional error in SDMs.

10. Does home range predict the optimal grain size?

11. EOO, AOO revisit.

12. Abundant center hypothesis, taylor's law.

13. Extinction time for unstable communities.

14. Minimum vaiable population -> home range overlap -> minimum viable distributional range.

15. Extent of occurrence -> abundance -> area of occupancy, for birds (that PNAS paper).

16. The effective exposure against sensitivity (any variable can be used as unit, range, abundance, biomass).

17. The pulse and pull of climate change, one affecting the mean growth rate, the other the variable. At the population level, how do they imcombine affect a population's extinction time. If a population's extinction time follows a statistical distribution rather than a fixed point, what is the overall extinction time of a species? (can use the results from Kessler & Shnerb 2023)

18. With regard to IUCN criteria, which threat comes first, land use or climate change?
