Trait‐based ecology aims to understand the processes that generate the overarching
diversity of organismal traits and their influence on ecosystem functioning. Achieving this …

Networks of species interactions underpin numerous ecosystem processes, but
comprehensively sampling these interactions is difficult. Interactions intrinsically vary across …

Feature selection becomes prominent, especially in the data sets with many variables and
features. It will eliminate unimportant variables and improve the accuracy as well as the …

Aim Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (ie, β‐
diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine β‐diversity …

Biodiversity metrics often integrate data on the presence and abundance of multiple species.
Yet our understanding of covariation between changes to the numbers of individuals, the …

Understanding species' roles in food webs requires an accurate assessment of their trophic
niche. However, it is challenging to delineate potential trophic interactions across an …

Implementation of marine conservation strategies, such as increasing the numbers, extent,
and effectiveness of protected areas (PAs), can help achieve conservation and restoration of …

Remote sensing (RS) enables a cost-effective, extensive, continuous and standardized
monitoring of traits and trait variations of geomorphology and its processes, from the local to …

Synthesis research in ecology and environmental science improves understanding,
advances theory, identifies research priorities, and supports management strategies by …

The complex web of interactions between ecological communities and the physical
landscape (biogeomorphology) is being affected by the global scale environmental changes …
