“…This hypothesis is a major tenet of biogeography and has been subsumed in various definitions of the niche in ecology (Brown, Stevens, & Kaufmnan, 1996;Connell, 1961;Dobzhansky, 1950;MacArthur, 1984). It has undergone a recent resurgence given its potential to better understand the impacts of global change on species distributions (Anderegg & HilleRisLambers, 2019;Dvorský, Macek, Kopecký, Wild, & Doležal, 2017;Louthan, Doak, & Angert, 2015;Normand et al, 2009). However, after more than a century of theoretical and empirical groundwork, there is little consensus on the extent to which abiotic and biotic factors (see Box 1 for definitions) determine range limits and how this varies by distributional edge position (Alexander, Diez, Usinowicz, & Hart, 2018;Godsoe, Jankowski, Holt, & Gravel, 2018;Louthan et al, 2015).…”
