Evolution is rapidly gaining attention as an important driver of ecological process. Yet,
evolution via sexual selection has generally been omitted from this emerging synthesis. Our …

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 …

Aim The elucidation of patterns and drivers of community assembly remains a fundamental
issue in ecology. Past studies have focused on a limited number of communities at local or …

The use of species distribution models (SDMs) has rapidly increased over the last decade,
driven largely by increasing observational evidence of distributional shifts of terrestrial and …

Aim The role of biotic interactions in determining species distributions is difficult to decouple
from abiotic factors. Most research to date has focused on negative biotic interactions, but …

Two primary goals in fisheries research are to (i) understand how habitat and environmental
conditions influence the distribution of fishes across the landscape and (ii) make predictions …

Aim Knowledge of expanding and contracting ranges is critical for monitoring invasions and
assessing conservation status, yet reliable data on distributional trends are lacking for most …

Little is known about how positive biotic interactions structure animal communities. Nest
association is a common reproductive facilitation in which associate species spawn in nests …

I grew up in a country where fish were, first and foremost, food. At the age of nine or so, I
started following my dad and uncle to nearby rivers to fish on weekends, and soon I learned …

As hydrologic alteration continues to affect aquatic biodiversity, knowledge of the spawning
requirements of fishes, especially 'keystone'or 'foundation'species, is critical for conservation …
