In an epoch of rapid environmental change, understanding and predicting how biodiversity
will respond to a changing climate is an urgent challenge. Since we seldom have sufficient …

Explaining and modeling species communities is more than ever a central goal of ecology.
Recently, joint species distribution models (JSDMs), which extend species distribution …

A large array of species distribution model (SDM) approaches has been developed for
explaining and predicting the occurrences of individual species or species assemblages …

Aim Recent studies increasingly use statistical methods to infer biotic interactions from co‐
occurrence information at a large spatial scale. However, disentangling biotic interactions …

Ecological niches reflect not only adaptation to local circumstances but also the tendency of
related lineages to share environmental tolerances. As a result, information on phylogenetic …

Plant–animal interactions are fundamentally important in ecosystems, but have often been
ignored by studies of climate-change impacts on biodiversity. Here, we present a trait-based …

ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

Joint species distribution models (JSDM s) account for biotic interactions and missing
environmental predictors in correlative species distribution models. Several different JSDM s …

Invasive alien species are widespread in freshwater systems compared to terrestrial
ecosystems. Among crustaceans, crayfish in particular have been widely introduced and are …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have been increasingly used to predict the geographic
distribution of a wide range of organisms; however, relatively fewer research efforts have …
