Co‐occurrence is not evidence of ecological interactions
There is a rich amount of information in co‐occurrence (presence–absence) data that could
be used to understand community assembly. This proposition first envisioned by Forbes …

Reconstructing palaeoclimatic variables from fossil pollen using boosted regression trees: comparison and synthesis with other quantitative reconstruction methods
We test and analyse a new calibration method, boosted regression trees (BRTs) in
palaeoclimatic reconstructions based on fossil pollen assemblages. We apply BRTs to …

The increase of an allelopathic and unpalatable plant undermines reindeer pasture quality and current management in the Norwegian tundra
MW Tuomi, TA Utsi, NG Yoccoz… - … Earth & Environment, 2024 - nature.com
Ongoing Arctic greening can increase productivity and reindeer pasture quality in the tundra.
However, greening may also entail proliferation of unpalatable species, with consequences …

Effects of biotic interactions on modeled species' distribution can be masked by environmental gradients
A fundamental goal of ecology is to understand the determinants of species' distributions (ie,
the set of locations where a species is present). Competition among species (ie, interactions …
