“…Briefly, hypervolumes are computed across kernel density estimation (KDE), importance‐sampling Monte Carlo integration and range‐testing techniques, overcoming computational inefficiencies that limited previous methods to low‐dimensional systems (for a detailed description see Blonder et al, , Blonder, ). Multivariate KDE has been then applied in several fields of research, that is, to investigate the usefulness of forest inventories data (Brandl et al, ), global invasion patterns ( Rhinella marina ; Tingley, Vallinoto, Sequeira, & Kearney, ), processes causing the latitudinal gradient in species richness (Lamanna et al, ), nest‐site niches ( Ammodramus spp. ; Kern, ), niche diversity (European freshwater species; Iversen, Jacobsen, & Sand‐Jensen, ), genetic differentiation patterns ( Malayemys spp.…”
