Aim More than ever, ecologists seek to understand how species are distributed and have
assembled into communities using the “filtering framework”. This framework is based on the …

Ecophylogenetics can be viewed as an emerging fusion of ecology, biogeography and
macroevolution. This new and fast‐growing field is promoting the incorporation of evolution …

Aim One of the main gaps in the assessment of biodiversity is the lack of a unified framework
for measuring its taxonomic and functional facets and for unveiling the underlying patterns …

Question Which functional diversity indices have the power to reveal changes in community
assembly processes along abiotic stress gradients? Is their power affected by stochastic …

In a context of global changes, and amidst the perpetual modification of community structure
undergone by most natural ecosystems, it is more important than ever to understand how …

Understanding the influence of the environment on the functional structure of ecological
communities is essential to predict the response of biodiversity to global change drivers …

1. Thermoregulation buffers environmental variation, which enables a species to persist
during climate change but ultimately hinders adaptation of thermal tolerance by weakening …

Climate change is predicted to alter global species diversity, the distribution of human
pathogens and ecosystem services. Forecasting these changes and designing adequate …

Recent years have seen an exponential increase in the amount of data available in all
sciences and application domains. Macroecology is part of this “Big Data” trend, with a …

It is now commonplace in community ecology to assess patterns of phylogenetic or
functional diversity in order to inform our understanding of the assembly mechanisms that …
