Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

By facilitating plant reproduction, pollinators perform a crucial ecological function that
supports the majority of the world's plant diversity, and associated organisms, and a …

Niche breadth is a unifying concept spanning diverse aspects of ecology, evolution, and
conservation biology. Niche breadth usually refers to the diversity of resources used or …

Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However,
compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation …

Predicting plastic responses is crucial to assess plant species potential to adapt to climate
change, but little is known about which factors drive the biogeographical patterns of …

Recent studies have generated an explosion of phylogenetic and biogeographic data and
have provided new tools to investigate the processes driving large-scale gradients in …

Question Are plant traits more closely correlated with mean annual temperature, or with
mean annual precipitation? Location Global. Methods We quantified the strength of the …

Background Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are becoming increasingly interested in
networks as a framework to study plant–animal mutualisms within their ecological context …

Variation in species richness across environmental gradients may be associated with an
expanded volume or increased packing of ecological niche space. However, the relative …

While average temperature is likely to increase in most locations on Earth, many places will
simultaneously experience higher variability in temperature, precipitation, and other climate …
