Distribution range contractions and identification of conservation priority areas for canids in Sichuan Province, China ...
Canids are among the numerous taxonomic groups that have recently experienced significant population declines. The reconstruction of distribution range changes using long-term ecological data can reveal processes underlying spatial contractions that short-term studies may not detect. We integrated e...
