Niche Theory is a central framework in ecology based on the recognition that most
interactions between organisms are indirect, mediated by the biotic and abiotic dynamical …

The most common approach to predicting how species ranges and ecological functions will
shift with climate change is to construct correlative species distribution models (SDMs) …

Species interactions such as facilitation and competition play a crucial role in driving species
range shifts. However, density dependence as a key feature of these processes has …

We envisage a future research environment where digital data on species interactions are
easily accessible and comprehensively cover all species, life stages and habitats. To …

The relationship between niche and distribution, and especially the role of biotic interactions
in sha** species' geographic distributions, has gained increasing interest in the last two …

Positive interactions enhance biodiversity and ecosystem function, but can also exacerbate
biological invasions. Facilitation of exotic invaders by exotic foundation species (invasional …

Abstract Aim and Location Positive interactions influence the assembly of plant communities
globally, particularly in stressful environments such as deserts. However, few studies have …

Preservation of desert ecosystems is a worldwide conservation priority. Shrubs can play a
key role in the structure of desert communities and can function as foundation species …

Clustering of species with similar niches or traits occurs in communities, but the mechanisms
behind this pattern are still unclear. In the emergent neutrality model, species with similar …

Biological invasions are responsive to changing wildfire regimes related to human activities
that are altering biological communities. Our objective was to investigate how fire, rodent …
