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-...
