A core challenge in ecology is identifying the factors that determine species distribution and functional diversity of species assemblages. Reef fish ......
Beyond the local abundance of species, their functional trait distinctiveness is now recognized as a key driver of community dynamics and ecosystem fu......
Plant-lizard interactions are still poorly studied, despite lizards are known to interact with flowering plants in many parts of the world. They are c......
Ecologists are increasingly relying on national forest inventories to address a wide variety of issues. The 'FIESTA' R package (Forest Inventory ESTim......
Using geospatial data of wildlife presence to predict a species distribution across a geographic area is among the most common tools in management and......
Coastal ecosystem functioning often hinges on habitat-forming foundation species that engage in positive interactions (e.g. facilitation and mutualism......

Due to climate warming, forests are expanding to higher elevations and latitudes at the expense of tundra vegetation. While the subsequent increase in......
Ecologists have long documented that the world's biota is spatially organised in regions with boundaries shaped by processes acting on geological and ......
Invasive alien plants (IAPs) have serious environmental and economic impacts, especially in vulnerable areas of China. However, IAP richness distribut......
Snow cover dynamics (i.e. depth, duration and variability) are dominant drivers of ecological processes during winter. For overwintering species, chan......
Many biodiversity hotspots are located in montane regions, thus, understanding the underlying mechanisms driving species assembly along elevational gr......
Understanding latitudinal variations in biodiversity is central for biogeography. Along the coasts of the Southeast Pacific, several taxa show inverse......
Predicting contemporary and future species distributions is relevant for science and decision making, yet the development of high-resolution spatial p......
Abiotic and biotic factors are known drivers that modulate community assembly from a regional species pool. Recent evidence has highlighted the intrin......
