Niche conservatism as an emerging principle in ecology and conservation biology
The diversity of life is ultimately generated by evolution, and much attention has focused on
the rapid evolution of ecological traits. Yet, the tendency for many ecological traits to instead …

Can we integrate ecological approaches to improve plant selection for green infrastructure?
Modern cities are dominated by impervious surfaces that absorb, store and release heat in
summer, create large volumes of runoff and provide limited biodiversity habitat and poor air …

Climatic niche shifts are rare among terrestrial plant invaders
The assumption that climatic niche requirements of invasive species are conserved between
their native and invaded ranges is key to predicting the risk of invasion. However, this …

Projecting future expansion of invasive species: comparing and improving methodologies for species distribution modeling
Modeling the distributions of species, especially of invasive species in non‐native ranges,
involves multiple challenges. Here, we developed some novel approaches to species …
