Ecosystems function in a series of feedback loops that can change or maintain vegetation
structure. Vegetation structure influences the ecological niche space available to animals …

Context-dependent dispersal allows organisms to seek and settle in habitats improving their
fitness. Despite the importance of species interactions in determining fitness, a quantitative …

As animal home range size (HRS) provides valuable information for species conservation, it
is important to understand the driving factors of HRS variation. It is widely known that …

Aim A nested pattern (nestedness) in species composition is a frequent signature of insular
communities. However, it remains unclear whether the drivers of nestedness are consistent …

Indirect interactions are widespread among prey species that share a common predator, but
the underlying mechanisms driving these interactions are often unclear, and our ability to …

We present a new database, EutherianCoP, of fossil mammals which lived globally from the
Late Pleistocene to the Holocene. The database includes 13,972 fossil occurrences of 786 …

Studies aimed at estimating species response to climate change generally employ
correlative species distribution models (SDMs) coupled with dispersal scenarios. However …

Environmental factors can alter the relative importance of deterministic and stochastic
processes as determinants of community structures. Understanding community-level …

Increasing knowledge of species occurrence and assemblage composition is crucial to
uncover the impacts of human activities on biodiversity. Here we investigate the effects of …
