Species richness and range size of the terrestrial mammals of the world: biological signal within mathematical constraints.
We explore global spatial diversity patterns for terrestrial mammals using as a tool range-diversity plots. These plots display simultaneously information about the number of species in localities and their spatial covariance in composition. These are highly informative, as we show by linking range-...
