Are Swiss birds tracking climate change?: Detecting elevational shifts using response curve shapes

R Maggini, A Lehmann, M Kéry, H Schmid… - Ecological …, 2011‏ - Elsevier
Climate change is affecting biodiversity worldwide inducing species to either “move, adapt
or die”. In this paper we propose a conceptual framework for analysing range shifts, namely …

Niche differentiation and expansion of plant species are associated with mycorrhizal symbiosis

M Gerz, C Guillermo Bueno, WA Ozinga… - Journal of …, 2018‏ - Wiley Online Library
Mycorrhizal symbiosis is a widespread association between plant roots and mycorrhizal
fungi, which is thought to contribute to plant niche differentiation and expansion. However …

Vegetation and environment: discontinuities and continuities

MP Austin - Vegetation ecology, 2013‏ - Wiley Online Library

Competition and facilitation may lead to asymmetric range shift dynamics with climate change

A Ettinger, J HilleRisLambers - Global change biology, 2017‏ - Wiley Online Library
Forecasts of widespread range shifts with climate change stem from assumptions that
climate drives species' distributions. However, local adaptation and biotic interactions also …

On the dangers of model complexity without ecological justification in species distribution modeling

DM Bell, DR Schlaepfer - Ecological Modelling, 2016‏ - Elsevier
Although biogeographic patterns are the product of complex ecological processes, the
increasing complexity of correlative species distribution models (SDMs) is not always …

Global warming will affect the maximum potential abundance of boreal plant species

S Villén‐Peréz, J Heikkinen, M Salemaa… - Ecography, 2020‏ - Wiley Online Library
