The realized niche captures only a fraction of the conditions in which a species can survive and reproduce, yet remains the basis for most predictions of how species respond to global change. No matter how sophisticated species distribution models have become, reliance on the realized niche biases forecasts of population persistence and range shifts. Rapid global change has turned the fundamental niche from a theoretical construct into a mission-critical objective for conservation science. Empirical tools exist to operationalize it. If we stop holding the fundamental niche to higher epistemic standards than the realized niche and treat survival and regeneration data from beyond the realized niche as genuine reflections of it, then we can advance this foundational yet surprisingly nascent research program.

Opening access to the products of scientific research is widely considered a key step toward both fairness and better science worldwide. Since the 1990s, different forms of open access (OA) to journa...

Coral reefs are experiencing unprecedented rapid decline. Art can act as a beacon to engage audiences, influence policy, and inspire global action.

This study compares alpine biodiversity patterns for plants and vertebrates across mountains worldwide using an expert-validated dataset. Authors found strong variation among mountains and taxonomic g...

Millions of years ago, rare hybridization events ignited the genetic sparks that contributed to the bright yellow colors of some birds in the modern wood-warbler family.
