Aim Generalized dissimilarity modelling (GDM) is a powerful and unique method for
characterizing and predicting beta diversity, the change in biodiversity over space, time and …

Plants differ widely in their ability to find tolerable climatic ranges through seed dispersal,
depending on their life-history traits and habitat characteristics. Following the Preferred …

The distribution and abundance of plants across the world depends in part on their ability to
move, which is commonly characterized by a dispersal kernel. For seeds, the total dispersal …

Aim Global changes will redistribute biodiversity, resha** ecological interactions and
ecosystem processes. The decoupling in the distribution of plants and their mutualistic seed …

Modelling seed dispersal by animals seems straightforward; we need a way to keep track of
the position on the animal through time and a clock for how long seeds travel with it …

Vertical seed dispersal, ie seed dispersal towards a higher or lower altitude, is considered a
critical process for plant escape from climate change. However, studies exploring vertical …

abstract Background Animals are important vectors for the dispersal of a wide variety of plant
species, and thus play a key role in maintaining the health and biodiversity of natural …

Abstract The Amazon Forest has been facing the consequences of the expansion of
activities of anthropic origin. A variety of human activities has caused impacts on the …

Given the magnitude and rate of ongoing climate change, the physiological capacity of
species to tolerate extreme conditions will play a key role in influencing outcomes for …

Bison-mediated seed dispersal may be a critical ecological process that has been
eliminated in grassland ecosystems by the removal of this keystone species. In this study of …
