Our paper “Dispersal, niche breadth, and population extinction/colonization ratios predict range size in North American dragonflies” from McCauley, Davis, Werner, & Robeson was accepted at the Journal of Animal Ecology.  Our finding that dispersal behavior and extinction-colonization dynamics at the landscape-scale are critical predictors of species range sizes opens up new questions on how processes link across spatial scales.  The early-online paper (not typeset) is available at the JAE website: DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12181. This is the first paper from the lab looking at species distribution patterns at continental scales – hopefully the first of many!
