A comment on “Species are not most abundant in the centre of their geographic range or climatic niche”
A study published recently argued against a relationship between population density and position in geographic and environmental spaces. We found a number of methodological problems underlying the analysis. We discuss the main issues and conclude that these problems hinder a robust conclusion about...
