Environmental suitability models predict population density, performance and body condition for microendemic salamanders

Abstract Species can show strong variation of local abundance across their ranges. Recent analyses suggested that variation in abundance can be related to environmental suitability, as the highest abundances are often observed in populations living in the most suitable areas. However, there is limit...
