Plants with higher dispersal capabilities follow ‘abundant-centre’ distributions but such patterns remain rare in animals - Nature Communications
The hypothesis that species are most abundant at the centre of their geographic range has been widely debated. Here, by analysing over 3,600 species, the authors find that this pattern is generally no...
