However, when these limits spatially coincide with a perceived dispersal barrier, the determinants of species' ranges may be confounded. We investigate the distribution pattern of the Brown Hornbill (Aves: Bucerotidae), which spans significant riverine barriers, but stops south of the Brahmaputra River. Considering its preference for low-elevation evergreen forests, we posit that the lack of sufficient habitats north of the Brahmaputra prevents dispersal of the Brown Hornbill, and not the river itself.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Location&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The Brahmaputra valley and the Indo-Burma hotspot.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Taxa&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anorrhinus austeni&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Aceros nipalensis.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Methods&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;We analysed citizen-science occurrence data on hornbill presence against a suite of climatic, canopy-specific and topographical predictors to model the environmental niche of the Brown Hornbill. We used presence-only maximum entropy modelling in an information theoretic framework, in conjunction with constructing binary logistic regression models using presence and pseudoabsence data. We compared niche models of the Brown Hornbill and the Rufous-necked hornbill, a close relative with a similar distribution, but which has spanned the Brahmaputra River.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Despite the presence of suitable wet-evergreen forests north of the Brahmaputra River, the hilly terrains in the region act as a biogeographic barrier for the Brown Hornbill, which prefers lowland evergreen forests. Further, highly suitable regions for the Brown and the Rufous-necked Hornbills precisely delineate low and high-elevation evergreen forests respectively, indicating that these birds are separated along an elevational axis.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Main Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The Brahmaputra River lies at the cusp of two subtly different environmental regimes. It may therefore serve as the niche limit for certain organisms and not as a physical obstacle to their dispersal. Our study implicitly predicts how widespread deforestation prevalent in the lowland evergreen forests of this region adversely impacts the distributions of organisms that depend on them, such as the Brown Hornbill.

Predation may also provide benefits for humans: preying on pest species translates into biological control with enormous economic value. Ecologists have long sought to quantify predation, which is challenging, especially by and on invertebrates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the approaches is the sentinel method, when a known number of prey items is exposed under field conditions for a specific period (usually 24 h), and subsequently recording the numbers of prey that have been attacked, consumed or disappeared. Such prey can be real or artificial. Speight and Lawton (&lt;span&gt;1976&lt;/span&gt;) exposed &lt;i&gt;Drosophila&lt;/i&gt; pupae and from their rate of disappearance attempted to quantify beetle predation in wheat fields. Turner (&lt;span&gt;1961&lt;/span&gt;) used artificial sentinels made of a mixture of flour and lard to quantify insectivorous bird predation on differently coloured prey. The use of real sentinels creates a more “natural” set of conditions, while artificial sentinels may allow the identification of predators from attack marks (Howe et al., &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;). Since the formal description of the method (Howe et al., &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;), there have been numerous articles from virtually all continents that sought to identify various aspects of predation (Lövei &amp; Ferrante, &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;). The use of sentinel prey has also been recommended to characterise natural pest control as an ecosystem service (Meyer et al., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an international experiment, Rodriguez-Campbell et al. (&lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;) measured predation rates using live and dead &lt;i&gt;Zophobas morio&lt;/i&gt; larvae and artificial caterpillars made of modelling clay with the intention of “validating” the efficacy of artificial sentinel prey. They found no significant differences in predation rates measured with live and dead larvae, whereas patterns of predation measured with artificial sentinel prey were not always consistent with those recorded using real ones. The authors concluded that artificial sentinel prey are inadequate for comparing predation rates across sites and suggested that this approach should be abandoned for biogeographical studies. In this commentary, we aim to highlight certain logical fallacies in the study by Rodriguez-Campbell et al. (&lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;), discuss some misunderstandings regarding the use of artificial sentinel prey, and provide recommendations for best practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first fallacy is the assumption that by using real prey we can quantify actual predation levels because “&lt;i&gt;Live prey should most closely reflect predation on wild prey; dead prey have realistic visual and scent cues but lack movement and behavioural cues; and clay prey have only coarsely realistic visual cues&lt;/i&gt;.” Rodriguez-Campbell et al. acknowledge th","PeriodicalId":15299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biogeography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jbi.14978","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141586748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
